The Vitória Gazette
Market12 Jul 2027
Farense come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Vitória did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Match10 Jul 2027
Vitória make home a hard place to visit
12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.
The dugout12 Jul 2027
Lucas Lohan: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Vitória have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Player ratings12 Jul 2027
A defender's goal wins it for Vitória — 7.85
1 for Baralhas, marked 7.85, 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.
Boardroom12 Jul 2027
Vitória go back to the board over Filip Krovinović
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $227.5K — a club that wants Filip Krovinović enough to be asked twice.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Felipe Igón will not be coming to Vitória
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Racing Club is saying, and nobody at Vitória is enjoying the guessing.
Match10 Jul 2027
Vitória make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Vitória have 3 straight wins of it.
Squad12 Jul 2027
A falling-out at Vitória
Baralhas and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match10 Jul 2027
Vitória see off Juventude
Three points for Vitória, 2‑0 the final word against Juventude in a contest settled by the finer margins.
