Nobody could get near Felipe Saraiva
Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

500 appearances for Titi
500 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

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

Nautico promote Rodrygo Tavares from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Rodrygo Tavares has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Wenderson 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.

Somebody else is better right now than João Paulo
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.

Igor Fernandes 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.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Tiago Alves was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Nautico dressing room was either.
Match12 Sep 2026
Nautico and Criciuma cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Criciuma came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
