Notes
  1. ^
    On 22 February 2019, the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) annulled the result of the Aparecidense v Ponte Preta match on 12 February 2019 and ordered that it be replayed. STJD determined that match referee Léo Simão Holanda annulled a Ponte Preta's goal with the help of "external interference". Originally Aparecidense had defeated Ponte Preta 1–0.[10]
