With this result, São Salvador dropped to the 14th position with 31 points and jeopardizes its stay in the National Football Championship.

Reactions from the coaches
Interclube's coach, Roque Sapiri, said that the lads fulfilled the objective set by the technical team of not losing at the opponent's home.
He stressed that the draw obtained at the Álvaro Buta Stadium, against São Salvador do Kongo, will be very useful for the club's calculations in the ending championship.
In turn, São Salvador's coach, Silva Cussanda, deplored the result as the team was already leaving the relegation zone.
"It was decided that the three remaining matches in this Unitel League had to be won to guarantee São Salvador's stay in the Girabola, unfortunately that's how football is," he expressed, visibly saddened.
