Midfielder Marcelo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.01. Marcelo scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 41 successful passes (of 51 total).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Operário manager M. Silva Ferreira da Costa as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vila Nova.
