The taboo, which has lasted since 1968, no longer exists. After 53 years, Náutico won Sport again in a decision, exorcised the ghost of a long writing and reached, in Aflitos, his 23rd Pernambuco title in history. To do this, however, the team had to fight a lot. He took the lead with Kieza, in the 33rd minute, seemed to have let the trophy slip when he drew in the 42nd minute, but grew up on penalties. Even luck favored Timbu. Giovanny lost his charge, but the VAR - claiming that Maílson stepped forward - ordered the charge to be repeated. He did, Marquinhos lost and K-9 defined. Timbu, owner of the best attack and the best campaign, is the state champion of 2021.
VAR's participation was confusing. Sport's players and coaching staff, disgusted, took part in the refereeing trio, which had to be protected by the security guards.
