Nobody could get near Maga

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match28 Oct 2026

The cup run ends for Leiria

1‑2 against Estoril Praia, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

A brace, and Borislav Rupanov takes the afternoon — 8.87

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Borislav Rupanov provided it, and the 8.87 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Salvi Carrasco

There were 6 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.

Fábio Sousa says Leiria went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Leiria

Railan 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.

Leiria supporters have found a favourite in Borislav Rupanov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Borislav Rupanov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mateo Sanabria 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

Leiria find a way past Pacos de Ferreira

Pacos de Ferreira made Leiria work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad24 Aug 2026

Christian Joel Sánchez stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No deal for Oumar Camara at that price

Leiria offered $2.4M; Vitoria Guimaraes said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market24 Aug 2026

Caldas come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Wallace Yan will not be coming to Leiria

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Flamengo is saying, and nobody at Leiria is enjoying the guessing.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Leiria

Juan Muñoz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Leiria

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

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Jordan van der Gaag

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Leiria rebuffed over Mateo Tanlongo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sporting CP have kept their man, and Leiria go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Leiria caught on 86 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Felgueiras scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.
