But there was a "detail": some members of the refereeing team were missing, which prevented the match from kicking off at the scheduled time: 7pm (BrasÃlia time).
Assistant referee number 2, Juliana Martins Gomes, and fourth official Jenifer Alves de Freitas were unable to arrive on time due to traffic in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
And the notice about this issue only came four minutes before the scheduled start time of the match.
The solution found by the CBF was to call in assistant Beatriz Geraldini and fourth official Rodrigo Carvalhaes de Miranda, who took over as linesman.
There was a 25-minute delay before the match finally began at Niltão.
The Gloriosas started the round with three points and in tenth place.
The Rubro-Negras, meanwhile, had six points and were in second place.
