The defeat marked Avaí's fifth loss at home this season, with four of those losses coming in the Série B. The team's coach, Allan Aal, stated that they could have played better in some moments and that they need to move forward. Avaí has 11 losses in 21 rounds of the Campeonato Brasileiro and is the 18th-placed team, five points away from the first team outside the relegation zone.
Avaí's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team winning the Copa Sul-Sudeste final against Chapecoense by 3-0, but struggling in the Série B. They have eight home games and nine away games left in the Série B, including a crucial match against Operário-PR on August 16.
The team's next matches are against Sport, Atlético-GO, Vila Nova, Ceará, Londrina, Athletic, Botafogo-SP, and São Bernardo at home, and against Operário-PR, Ponte Preta, Novorizontino, Fortaleza, Goiás, Criciúma, Cuiabá, Náutico, and América-MG away from Florianópolis.
