Trouble began when a Mamore player taunted the opposition bench after scoring, prompting an opposing coach to storm the field and trigger mass altercations. Referee Fernando Patrick Drosghic Modesto halted the fixture permanently after a 40-minute delay as violence spilled over into the venue's infrastructure. Uberlandia subsequently conceded the return fixture because Mamore was left with only seven eligible players. This forfeit enabled Mamore to advance to the championship decider while Uberlandia was relegated to the third-place contest.
