10 saves: Tiepo was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Match27 Oct 2026
Floresta let it slip despite Bismark
Bismark had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Tombense were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Both of them Bismark's — 8.44
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.44, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A falling-out at Floresta
Aderlan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom2 Nov 2026
Gabriel Andrade will join Floresta for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Gabriel Andrade has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Floresta have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

The crowd has taken to Caíque
At 18 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.
Match31 Oct 2026
Bismark the difference as Floresta beat Confiança
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Bismark. 1‑0 against Confiança, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Rafinha did the work nobody counts — 6.85
11 combined actions and 6.85. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

A step back for Cedric at Floresta
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
