Match

Goiânia refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 29 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Raphael Soares yet — 7.80

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.80 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Sérgio Gomes is carrying Goiânia

19 goals and a season average of 7.30. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Boardroom

An order from above at Goiânia: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Match

Whatever happens, Goiânia do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match

Goiânia see off Mixto

Three points for Goiânia, 2‑1 the final word against Mixto in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

A falling-out at Goiânia

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

Boardroom

149% of the income goes out in wages at Goiânia

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Looking ahead

Goiânia and Portuguesa meet at the summit

The fixture the rest of the division is looking forward to more than either of the sides in it. Both know a win changes the season and a defeat does not end it, which is what makes it hard to play.

Squad

A move Léo Reis would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Léo Reis is living that version at Goiânia, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

A falling-out at Goiânia

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

Squad

5 new faces, and Goiânia are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Léo Reis has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Goiânia know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Goiânia and Léo Reis are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout

No hiding place for Eduardo Souza

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Eduardo Souza, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Igor Martins gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Igor Martins is on it.

Market

The Raphael Soares talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Goiânia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Looking ahead

An away day at Luverdense next for Goiânia

They sit in position 13 and they will be waiting. Away form is where a season shows its true character, and this side has a point to make about its own.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Monte Azul take the points off Uberlândia

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A falling-out at Uberlândia

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Bruno Batista to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Juan Carlos

9 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Squad

The armband goes to Jonatas Paulista

A strip of cloth that decides nothing on the pitch and tells the dressing room whose opinion counts. The manager has made a statement without making one.

Market

Edu leaves Uberlândia for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Edu moves on to Bahia with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.

Market

Lazarini leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Lazarini leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Jeferson Parrudo leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jeferson Parrudo leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Jacó leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jacó leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
