From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Bragantino do the business in Europe

0‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Bragantino came through the finding-out well against Estudiantes.

Match

Bragantino run riot against Bahia

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Match

Bragantino end the wait against Bahia

It had gone 10 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings

Vintage Eduardo Sasha — 7.81

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.81, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Words at Bragantino training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pedro Henrique is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Vinicinho at the heart of a fast Bragantino start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Vinicinho in the middle of it, and Bahia unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Player ratings

Vinicinho was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Eric Ramires was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

Tiago Volpi left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Tiago Volpi will call it something else in private.

Squad

6 saves: Tiago Volpi was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Pedro Henrique 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.

Match

Sport Recife take the points off Bragantino

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

Júnior Brumado 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.

Squad

Rodriguinho 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 Bragantino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Guilherme Fonseca left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

Eric Ramires has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Bragantino will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Fernando Karanga 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.

Looking ahead

Matheus Fernandes faces his old club

Palmeiras next, and one man in the Bragantino dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Bragantino do the business in Europe

2‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Bragantino came through the finding-out well against Estudiantes.

Match

Bragantino tear Mirassol apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Mirassol, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Both of them Fernando's — 8.38

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.38, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Eduardo Sasha, 34, rolls back the years — 8.30

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.30 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bragantino

José Hurtado 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Vinicinho

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Mirassol blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Mirassol tried to reorganise, Bragantino did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Henry Mosquera at his very best

Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bragantino.

The dugout

Tiago Volpi left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Tiago Volpi will call it something else in private.

In brief

  • Player ratings Nobody on the pitch touched Eric Ramires
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Tiago Volpi
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
