Notes:
  1. Match was concluded on the 83rd minute after Duque de Caxias had only six players – three were sent off and two left the field claiming injury. On October 24, Court said that Duque de Caxias withdrew, concluding that the players pretended their injuries to force the conclusion of the game in a 2–2 draw. On October 28, Court decided that the match result was a 3–0 win by Rio Branco, awarding them three points.[5]
