Gabriel Viana remains in pole position to finish as the top scorer of the Tocantinense Second Division for the second consecutive year, even after São José were eliminated in the semifinals. The forward leads the tournament with 11 goals and did not play in the second leg against Guaraí.
His main pursuer, Fafá of Interporto, scored in the second leg against Batalhão to reach eight goals, but his team also exited the competition. With Batalhão and Guaraí advancing to the final, Léo Lopes and Zé Elias are the closest scorers among the remaining players, with five goals each.
Batalhão secured its place in the final after a 2-2 draw with Interporto at Estádio General Sampaio in Porto Nacional. The team had won the first leg 4-1. Rodolfo opened the scoring for Batalhão after an assist from Zé Elias, taking his tally to four goals. Fafá equalized after Interporto were reduced to 10 men, and Erick restored Batalhão’s lead before André Cunha set the final score.
Guaraí eliminated São José after a 1-1 aggregate draw and a 4-3 win on penalties at Estádio Ribeirão in Tocantinópolis. São José had the chance to take the lead when Dhonata’s first-half penalty was saved by goalkeeper João Moreno. Gabriel Furtado later scored the goal that levelled the aggregate score and sent the tie to a shootout.
The leading scorers are Gabriel Viana with 11 goals, Fafá with eight, and Afonso, Zé Elias and Léo Lopes with five each. Rodolfo and several other players have four, while the remaining goalscorers are spread across Batalhão, Guaraí, Interporto, São José and other teams in the competition.
