The Internacional Courier
Match10 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Internacional's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Internacional has to find a result from somewhere.

A one-man rearguard from Matheus Cunha
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.

A defender's goal wins it for Internacional — 7.97
1 for Braian Aguirre, marked 7.97, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Kauan is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Internacional is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Niclas Eliasson 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 Internacional this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Real improvement from Esley at Internacional
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Esley is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

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

Two points walk out of the ground
Level with 86 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Internacional had all but put away. Ceará will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Alexandro Bernabei runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
