Squad

5 goals for Bruno Santos

The match ball belongs to Bruno Santos, whose 5 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

Londrina run riot against Maringá

10‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Match

Londrina through in the cup

A 5‑0 win over Uberlândia, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

A brace, and Lucas Marques takes the afternoon — 8.11

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Lucas Marques provided it, and the 8.11 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Fabiano at 21 — 8.25

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Fabiano did not need any: 8.25, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

Nobody wants to play Londrina right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

Wallace, 38, rolls back the years — 8.05

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.05 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Boardroom

Londrina to lose Yuri Lima for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Yuri Lima 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Yuri Lima

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yuri Lima will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Londrina the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

No mercy from Londrina

CSA will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Londrina were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

Crysthyan, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.61

A mark of 7.61 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Yago Lincoln pops up at the right end — 7.67

7.67, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market

Londrina say no — this time

The offer from Bnei Sakhnin for Kaique Rodrigues was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Gilberto stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gilberto and Londrina agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Londrina

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

Squad

A falling-out at Londrina

Bruno Santos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

One of their own: Yago Lincoln

He is 23 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.

Market

Eyes on Crysthyan again

The phone has started ringing about Crysthyan again, and this time the name on the line is Syunik. Londrina are listening politely and promising nothing.

In brief
