Cruel end for Sampaio Correa as Criciuma pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Criciuma scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Yuri Tanque in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Criciuma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jean Irmer wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Criciuma get the job done against Sampaio Correa
A 1‑0 win over Sampaio Correa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Nobody at Criciuma has picked up the phone to Yuri Tanque
48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Felipe Augusto signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Felipe Augusto and Criciuma agree another 2 years.

Criciuma and Waguininho are talking past each other

Nobody could get near Yuri Tanque
Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Willean Lepo dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
