Gabriel da Motta runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for Oeste

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Oeste

Sérgio Raphael 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Santa Cruz take the points off Oeste

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Garis Mina 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.

The one thing Rubens could not do

Shots: 11, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Oeste's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Oeste has to find a result from somewhere.

Sérgio Raphael 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 Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Andrey

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrey, and the manager let it.

Rubens signs on for more

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

One of those days for Rubens

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.35, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Kawê 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Oeste share the spoils with America Mineiro

A 2‑2 draw with America Mineiro leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sérgio Raphael knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Oeste, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market3 Aug 2026

Oeste and Bryam are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

Favorito placed on the list

Oeste have made Favorito available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
