Squad28 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Cabralzinho

116 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Tuna Luso lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Paulo Henrique beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 39. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A brace, and Guilherme Teixeira takes the afternoon — 8.11

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Guilherme Teixeira provided it, and the 8.11 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Danillo Ribeiro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tuna Luso this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Tuna Luso

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

Match26 Sep 2026

Tuna Luso find a way past Humaitá

Humaitá made Tuna Luso work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Renato Freitas, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Tuna Luso pick somebody else ahead of Gustavo Puskas

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

When it matters, Franklin plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief

  • Player ratings Eduardo wins it from the bench
  • Squad Saulo says his piece

Eduardo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 32. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Tuna Luso training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulo Henrique 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Paulo Henrique

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad21 Sep 2026

21 new faces, and Tuna Luso 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Danillo Ribeiro

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Guilherme Teixeira has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Tuna Luso will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Renato Freitas on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Renato Freitas after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Match19 Sep 2026

Point won or two lost for Tuna Luso?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Sampaio Corrêa? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Market21 Sep 2026

Eduardo Tanque linked with a move away

The name of Eduardo Tanque keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Tuna Luso say nothing, which says plenty.

In brief

  • Squad Davi Alves makes the position his own
  • Squad Saulo says his piece
  • Looking ahead Looking ahead: the trip to Humaitá

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Davi Alves could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.72

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.72, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Eduardo Tanque runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Erick Bahia 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. Erick Bahia is living that version at Tuna Luso, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Cabralzinho, 33, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Davi Alves signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Davi Alves commits to Tuna Luso for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Danillo Ribeiro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tuna Luso this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Tuna Luso supporters have found a favourite in Davi Alves

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Davi Alves has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match8 Aug 2026

Cabralzinho the difference as Tuna Luso beat Iguatu

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Cabralzinho. 2‑0 against Iguatu, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
