In early July 2026, Brusque beat Figueirense ~~3‑1,~~ 3–1, moving Brusque to the top of the Série C table with 24 points while dropping Figueirense to 15th with 16 points. Later in the month, Figueirense rebounded, defeating Santa Cruz ~~1‑0~~ 1–0 at Arena Pernambuco. The decisive goal came from a ~~first‑half~~ first-half penalty by Emerson Galego, and the match attracted more than 27,000 spectators. The victory lifted Figueirense five places to 11th with 20 points, just two points shy of the ~~promotion‑contending G‑8~~ promotion-contending G-8 zone. Santa Cruz remained third with 24 points, still in the race for the final quadrangular. Figueirense coach Raul Cabral praised the team’s organisation and the tactical impact of introducing forward Mailson, while Santa Cruz head coach Cristian de Sofia highlighted the need to improve attacking efficiency without losing the defensive identity built this season. Captain defender Lucas Dias later highlighted the squad’s concentration and commitment in the away win, noting his own consistency with 1,200 minutes played across 14 of the club’s 15 matches. ~~The result was described as a morale‑boosting, crucial three points as~~ On 8 August, Figueirense ~~prepared for their next league fixture~~ played to a 2–2 draw against Ferroviária ~~on 8 August~~ at the Orlando Scarpelli stadium in Florianópolis. Despite playing with a man advantage after Ferroviária's Alencar was dismissed in the second half, Figueirense struggled to capitalize due to heavy rain and poor pitch conditions. The result leaves Figueirense in 12th place with 21 points. Mathematical projections suggest the team must win its remaining three matches to qualify for the Série C final quadrangular. The club also faces potential disciplinary scrutiny following disruptions caused by supporter smoke during the match.
