In the last game, Furacão was 0-0 against Operário and left the Ligga Arena to boos and shouts of “Atletiba is an obligation”. The protest is mainly due to the team’s lack of regularity and coach Osorio’s rotations – the coach even minimized the situation.

Coxa is in second place, with 20 points, with six wins, two draws and one defeat. Coach Guto Ferreira has also been using the State Championship for tests, and the team is coming off a 2-2 draw with Maringá, at Couto Pereira.
