Match

The small margins put Ituano out

Out, 2‑3 to Guarany de Bagé, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings

What a way to start for Diogo Ianelo — 7.19

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.19 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Market

Guilherme Dal Pian has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ituano they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Ituano to lose Guilherme Dal Pian for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Guilherme Dal Pian has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at Ituano

Neto Berola 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.

Market

Fratria join the queue for Lucas Stefanello

Add another name to the list: Fratria have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Lucas Stefanello. The answer from Ituano has not changed — yet.

Squad

Carlão falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Ituano dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings

Matheus Maia beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief

  • Squad 5 new faces, and Ituano are still learning each other
