Campeonato Pernambucano: See the classifieds and cross the final stage; Ibis is demoted | Pernambuco Championship

With Saturday’s round of the Pernambucano tournament, the six seeds are decided, in addition to crossing the final stage of the tournament. Santa Cruz and Salguero join Sport, Retro, Nautico and Petrolina among the six seeded for the knockout stage. On the other side of the table, Opis and Avogados suffered relegation.

Owner of the best campaign, Leão awaits in the semi-finals the winner of Petrolina x Santa Cruz, who will duel next Tuesday, in Sertão, in a match with broadcasts on TV Globo and ge. In turn, Fênix awaits those passing by Náutico x Salgueiro, who face each other on Wednesday, in Aflitos.

Since the regulation only considers first-stage matches, Retrô and Petrolina are the two teams that are guaranteed a place in the Brazilian championship next year. However, for Santa Cruz to retain the national calendar next year, he needs to do one thing: move up to Série C this year or encourage Retrô to look for the vacancy, which would open up a place for Tricolor.

After their defeat on Saturday, Obis and Avogados joined Belo Jardim and Caruaru City among those relegated to the A2 Series of the Pernambuco Championship. In a campaign of ups and downs, Passaro Brito falls bitterly after two years in the elite and Avogados finishes a good streak in the first division – which had a place in the Copa do Brasil (with the right to historic qualification. Victory over Atlético-MG in the 2020 edition).

The four relegated players will compete in Série A2 later this year and, if they can make it there, will return to the elite in 2024.
