Match

Cédric Nuozzi sends Alverca through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Cédric Nuozzi obliged against Pacos de Ferreira. 4‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Alverca.

Match

Cédric Nuozzi wins it after the whistle should have gone

110 minutes played. Cédric Nuozzi found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Pacos de Ferreira went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Davy Gui, 20, steals the show — 8.39

Marked 8.39 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

6 saves: Matheus Mendes 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 ratings

José Julián Martínez pops up at the right end — 7.59

7.59, 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

Words at Alverca training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zé Rafael 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Alverca

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

Match

Alverca come up short against Moreirense

Moreirense left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Cédric Nuozzi

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief

Back issues

Market

Matheus Mendes wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

A falling-out at Alverca

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

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Alverca and Arouca in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

A bad afternoon for Alverca against Arouca

2‑4 to Arouca, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

A row about effort at Alverca

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Chiquinho

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Alverca

15 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

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 2‑4 defeat, delivered by Alexandre Martins to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Nabil Touaizi ran the game

Chances created: 10. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

In brief
