Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Wilson was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at União

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Márcio was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at União

Jhonnatha was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Fagner is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 37 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

União pick somebody else ahead of Peng Yixiang

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

João Figueiredo: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Looking ahead28 Sep 2026

The leaders are next for União

Central top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Tamaré is still paying for one afternoon at União

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Guilherme Boer gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Fagner yet — 7.90

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.90 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Felipe Cantes turns down União

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at União

Líbano and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Erick Rocha was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match29 Aug 2026

União see off Lagarto

Three points for União, 2‑0 the final word against Lagarto in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Wilson at his very best

Marked 8.25. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at União.

Squad31 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Márcio

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. União will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market31 Aug 2026

Still no ink between União and Márcio

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at União, another week without a signature from Márcio.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” João Figueiredo kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The União Gazette

10 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market10 Aug 2026

União promote Rodrigo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Rodrigo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

União promote Rodrygo Rodrigues from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Rodrygo Rodrigues has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Vinícius Araujo joins the União first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vinícius Araujo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Rodrygo Nogueira joins the União first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrygo Nogueira is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match8 Aug 2026

União see off Treze

Three points for União, 1‑0 the final word against Treze in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fagner signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fagner and União agree another 1 years.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

A satisfied João Figueiredo

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, João Figueiredo could afford to be generous.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Rodrygo Rodrigues is the weekend's best young player

At 14 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Rodrigo, 16, gets his chance

Off the academy pitches and onto a senior team sheet at 16. The debut is the easy part; the second appearance is the one every young player has to earn.

The Goiatuba Post

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Goiatuba

Renan Silva and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match1 Aug 2026

Goiatuba come up short against Cascavel

Cascavel left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Felipe Alves signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Felipe Alves and Goiatuba agree another 2 years.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Danilo Fernandes answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Goiatuba has picked up the phone to Felipe Alves

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Daniel Costa leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Daniel Costa leaves Goiatuba the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
