Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Pacos de Ferreira

Mario Rivas 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Leonardo Santos is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Pacos de Ferreira training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yago Santiago 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.

Morufdeen Moshood 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Pacos de Ferreira against Oliveirense

0‑1 to Oliveirense, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Henrique Araujo answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Yago Santiago knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Pacos de Ferreira, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No place in the plan for Morufdeen Moshood

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Market28 Sep 2026

Pacos de Ferreira put Ronaldo Lumungo up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Ronaldo Lumungo may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Match16 Sep 2026

Pacos de Ferreira through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over São João de Ver, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad21 Sep 2026

6 saves: Carlos Marafona 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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Leonardo Santos, 19, steals the show — 7.63

Marked 7.63 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Age has not caught Tiago Cerveira yet — 7.98

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.98 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Up for the corner, and Diegão delivers — 7.63

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Diegão scored, was marked 7.63, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Yago Santiago in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pacos de Ferreira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets21 Sep 2026

Santos tell Pacos de Ferreira: Gabriel Bontempo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

One of their own: Diegão

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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Mario Rivas 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.
