Market

Bahia come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Académico de Viseu did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Both of them André Clovis's — 8.77

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.77, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Oskar Pietuszewski scores twice — 8.35

Two goals and a mark of 8.35 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout

Chamito: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Académico de Viseu have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

André Clovis among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, André Clovis on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Académico de Viseu and Vizela.

Match

André Clovis the difference as Académico de Viseu beat Vizela

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: André Clovis. 4‑2 against Vizela, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words at Académico de Viseu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oskar Pietuszewski 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.

Player ratings

Soufiane Messeguem did the work nobody counts — 7.01

12 combined actions and 7.01. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Oskar Pietuszewski

At 18 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.

Match

Cristian Ferreira breaks Leixões hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Cristian Ferreira scored in the 87th minute, Leixões had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Académico de Viseu took the lot.

Market

André Clovis attracts admirers

The name of André Clovis has come up in conversations Académico de Viseu were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match

At last: Académico de Viseu win one

6 matches without a win, and then this, against Leixões. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Squad

Oskar Pietuszewski 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

Académico de Viseu find a way past Leixões

Leixões made Académico de Viseu work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

200 appearances for Juan Soriano

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Player ratings

Robinho beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Words exchanged at Académico de Viseu

Luís Silva 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 dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Goncalo Soares kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
