The Vitória Gazette
Squad12 Jul 2027
41 days out for Emmanuel Martínez after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Vitória will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match10 Jul 2027
A hiding for Vitória
Beaten 0‑5 by Vasco da Gama, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.
Match7 Jul 2027
Vitória bow out of the cup
Flamengo go through and Vitória go home, 1‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Lucas Arcanjo decides it from twelve yards
1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.
Boardroom12 Jul 2027
Emerson Buiu has agreed to leave Vitória for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Too dear: Vitória walk away from Lucca
$560.0K was the most the club would pay and Sport Recife were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

A falling-out at Vitória
Emmanuel Martínez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings12 Jul 2027
Fabri was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Vitória beat the market to Kauê Canela from Fortaleza
Fortaleza will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Kauê Canela has pre-agreed a move to Vitória, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
