Relegation playoffs

[edit]

The last-placed team, Carioca, would dispute a playoff against Palmeiras, champions of the Second Level. Carioca won the first match by 4-1, but the league annulled the match after it was found that Carioca had fielded two ineligible players. A rematch was held in March 1920, which ended with Palmeiras winning by 4-2 and being promoted to the first level.[1]
