Player ratings

Ricardinho, 38, rolls back the years — 8.45

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.45 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

Guilherme Gama pops up at the right end — 7.05

7.05, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

A falling-out at Treze

Luan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Lucas Rotela 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

Ypiranga snatch it back from Treze

A goal on 93 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match

Treze and Ypiranga take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

The formation has left Mateo Baladán behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Treze will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

Marcelo Porto: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad

Guilherme Gama, 18, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where Treze would like this to lead.

Squad

Guilherme Gama is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Treze

Luan 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.

Squad

The decline has begun for Nino Paraíba

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 41 the numbers say 4 points down on what he was, and the question for Treze is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.
