Botafogo v. Treze

In the second stage semifinals, Botafogo and Treze competed. In the first match, Botafogo won 4-0. In the second half of the second match, Treze was winning 3-0 ahead when striker Vavá scored the fourth goal and proceeded to celebrate by mimicking an artillery soldier in front of Botafogo supporters. A fight then ensued, envolving even Botafogo's head coach, Maurício Cabedelo. Five players were sent-off - 3 from Treze and 2 from Botafogo. After the game was restarted, Treze's sideback Ferreira and midfielder Doda fell on the ground, claiming injuries. Due to one of the teams not having at least seven players on the field, the match was declared finished with a 4-0 score, which favoured Treze and allowed the Campina Grande side to play in the second stage final against rivals Campinense. Treze and Campinense played, with the aggregate score of 2-2 supposedly giving Treze the title of Campeonato Paraibano champion.

Botafogo judicially accused Treze of trying to fake injuries in order to finish the semifinals second match earlier than the 90 minute mark. The Paraíba state's Court of Sporting Justice (TJDF-PB) decided that Treze would lost its points from the second stage, and that Botafogo will decide the second stage winner spot against Campinense. The second stage finals were scheduled to take place in 19 and 26 June, 2011. Treze appealed to the Supreme Court of Sporting Justice (STJD) , and on 17 June 2011, it was announced that Treze's appeal was successful and the 19 June match was suspended.

On 30 June 2011, Treze's second stage title was confirmed by the STJD , thus making the Campina Grande side Campeonato Paraibano
