The decisive moment came on 64 minutes when Baggio found the net to break the deadlock, prompting immediate tactical adjustments from Figueirense who brought on Igor Bolt and Mailson. The closing stages became increasingly fractious with five yellow cards dished out, including bookings for Crystopher, Dudu Feitoza, Renan Areias, Hereda, and Luizão as both sides battled to influence the result.
