Squad19 Oct 2026

Jonathan Bryan breaks a bone — 116 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 116 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A one-man rearguard from Alfonso Pastor

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

A brace, and Maxime Dominguez takes the afternoon — 8.39

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Maxime Dominguez provided it, and the 8.39 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Yellu Santiago

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Maritimo

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

Match17 Oct 2026

Maritimo get the job done against Feirense

A 3‑1 win over Feirense, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Raphael Guzzo

Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Eduardo Fernandes: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑1, already talking about the next one.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Martim Tavares knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Martim Tavares trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad28 Sep 2026

6 saves: Alfonso Pastor 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Maritimo

Adrián Butzke 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Marcelo Bourscheidt at Maritimo

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Marcelo Bourscheidt is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Raphael Guzzo 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Vizela take the points off Maritimo

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

Match26 Sep 2026

After 4 games, Maritimo finally taste it again

The first defeat in 4 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Vizela; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Eduardo Fernandes to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Simo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Samuel Bamba

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market14 Sep 2026

Romain Correia puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maritimo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad14 Sep 2026

3 goals for Maxime Dominguez

The match ball belongs to Maxime Dominguez, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Maritimo and Leixões in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match12 Sep 2026

Maritimo get the job done against Leixões

A 4‑2 win over Leixões, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Raphael Guzzo 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.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Martín Tejón

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Maxime Dominguez

Marked 8.30 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Simo in the eights

A performance of 8.24 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Martín Tejón at his very best

Marked 8.13. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Maritimo.
