Rafael Ibiapino, 34, rolls back the years — 8.79

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.79 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Matheus Vieira beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match7 Nov 2026

Cascavel cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Match7 Nov 2026

Cascavel get the job done against Marcílio Dias

A 2‑1 win over Marcílio Dias, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

No hiding place for Aldair Arnedo

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

One of our own: Rodrigo Guimarães joins the Cascavel first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrigo Guimarães is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market9 Nov 2026

Victor Fernandes steps up from the Cascavel academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Victor Fernandes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Alan Minaglia 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.

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Rafael Souza, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tite gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Tite has just signed for Cascavel, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Vintage Rafael Ibiapino — 8.26

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.26, and nobody on the pitch better.

Match31 Oct 2026

Rafael Ibiapino sends Cascavel past Monte Azul

It finished 2‑1, and it was Rafael Ibiapino’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Cascavel.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Matheus Vieira was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Cascavel

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Angel Enciso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

One of those days for Matheusinho

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Kayan is the division's best young player this month

At 21 he has spent a month being better than everybody his age in the league, which is a different and harder thing than one good afternoon. Cascavel will try very hard not to make too much of it.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

José Acosta 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Henrique Fernandes 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 Cascavel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
