Internacional march on in the cup
Santa Cruz are out and Internacional go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Nobody could get near Gustavo Prado
Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Internacional
Alexandro Bernabei was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Internacional supporters have found a favourite in Kayky
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kayky 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.

One of those days for Kayky
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.04, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Bruno Henrique gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Alerrandro stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.67 on the card, and the Internacional support went home talking about one name.

Honours even between Internacional and São Paulo
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Alerrandro is off the mark for Internacional
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
