Obs.: In May 9, Pouso Alegre, a team from 2nd Level not promoted in
1988 (Democrata-GV was the runner-up), wins in the sports court the right to play the 1st
Level of 1989. The reason was the annulment and replay of a match against Atlético de Três Corações,
who walked over the rescheduled match.
Pouso Alegre’s matches, played at the same time of the Final Phase, were:
[May 11] Esportivo 7-1 Pouso Alegre
[May 14] Democrata-SL 1-0 Pouso Alegre
[May 16] Pouso Alegre 2-2 Uberaba
[May 18] Pouso Alegre 1-0 Fabril

[Jun 25] Pouso Alegre 1-0 Valeriodoce
[Jul 02] Pouso Alegre 1-0 Nacional
[Jul 16] Uberlândia 4-0 Pouso Alegre
América, placed fourth in group A, had to wait the matches of Pouso Alegre –
if Pouso Alegre trespassed América, the latter would be eliminated. Due to this,
América entered later the Final Phase.

Note: no relegation due to league expansion.
Democrata-GV did not play the 1990 league neither in the first nor any other division,
therefore it is possible that they had been relegated but struggled in the sports courts
to secure a spot in the top flight. Eventually, they returned to the first level in 1991,
after another league expansion.
