The knee: André Borges out for 41 days
41 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Lagarto lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

No mercy from Lagarto
Santa Cruz de Natal will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Lagarto were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Both of them Iván Ramos's — 9.07
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.07, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Age has not caught Romario Da Silva yet — 8.54
At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.54 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Lagarto
Daelson 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.

Caio Ribeiro 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.

Cesinha is slowing down
At 40, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Lagarto are still strangers to each other
23 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Caio Lima has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Caio Lima on a 3‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
In brief
- The dugout No place in the plan for Paulinho
- Looking ahead Cesinha goes back to face Juazeirense
- The dugout Caio Ribeiro wants a proper job in this side
