Squad

Arnau Casas breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Bachirou Yaméogo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Torreense, and it is not being withdrawn.

Manu Pozo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Bryan Meyo’s move to Feirense falls through

The deal that would have taken Bryan Meyo to Feirense has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Torreense with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Match

Torreense find a way past Leixões

Leixões made Torreense work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Luis Quintero was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

In brief
