[unknown date]
Atlético-TC      WO-1  Pouso Alegre
  [Pouso Alegre won in the court the right to replay this match for an unknown reason. This rematch
   caused a walkover by Atlético-TC, who did not have a proper number of players to field for this
   rematch. Moreover, it caused chaos in the 1989 First Division, as Pouso Alegre was included
   tremendously late in the league, forcing them to a marathon – the league was already in second
   phase and Pouso Alegre forced even the qualified teams to play once again a match valid for first
   phase. Additionally, Democrata-GV were eventually ejected from First Division due to this
   turnaround, as they ended up originally runners-up and were repositioned in 3rd after the
   confusion, even though they originally stood in First Division and even played their match
   against Pouso Alegre. Democrata-GV spent the entire year of 1990 without a division, battling in
   courts for their right to play First Division, but were eventually invited to the 1991 season of
   First Division, along with some other second division clubs.]

*** FLAMENGO ESPORTE CLUBE are 1988 Minas Gerais Second Division champions ***

Note: the tiebreak criteria pointed out Pouso Alegre in front of Flamengo, but it is possible that FMF
did not declare Pouso Alegre champions because of the lateness of the decision and because it would
create a hard situation with Flamengo and the people of Varginha.
