A brace, and Otávio takes the afternoon — 8.84
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Otávio provided it, and the 8.84 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Pradella at 18 — 9.36
The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Pradella did not need any: 9.36, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

João Pedro turns Remo Stars down
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Santos say no — this time
The offer from Enyimba for Vinícius Lira was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Match12 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
11 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Santos and Trem in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match15 Aug 2026
Bahia take the points off Santos
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Gabriel Brazão
- The terraces One of their own: Gabriel Bontempo
- Market Daniel Assis steps up from the Santos academy
