Squad6 Dec 2027

Lucas Arcanjo keeps Vitória in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Gil damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings6 Dec 2027

Renato Kayser scores twice — 8.13

Two goals and a mark of 8.13 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Emerson Buiu is the real thing at 21

A season average of 6.54 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Vitória know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Market6 Dec 2027

Vitória say no — this time

The offer from Mirassol for Edenílson was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Marinho 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 Vitória this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match4 Dec 2027

Renato Kayser sends Vitória past Santos

It finished 3‑1, and it was Renato Kayser’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Vitória.

Player ratings6 Dec 2027

One of those days for Riccieli

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market6 Dec 2027

Eyes on Caíque again

The phone has started ringing about Caíque again, and this time the name on the line is Tigre. Vitória are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Gil damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Caíque Gonçalves: 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.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Words at Vitória training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emmanuel Martínez 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.

Match27 Nov 2027

A bad afternoon for Vitória against Vasco da Gama

1‑3 to Vasco da Gama, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Vitória

Diego Tarzia 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.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

Marinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

A masterclass from Riccieli

Marked 8.22 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The terraces29 Nov 2027

The spotlight tightens on Lucas Arcanjo

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

The one thing Renato Kayser could not do

Shots: 10, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Gil damages knee ligaments — 37 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 37 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Baralhas was immovable

33 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Riccieli shuts the door

Defensive actions: 32, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad22 Nov 2027

A fracture rules Camutanga out for 18 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Vitória will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match20 Nov 2027

Matheuzinho breaks America Mineiro hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Matheuzinho scored in the 86th minute, America Mineiro had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Vitória took the lot.

Match20 Nov 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.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Marinho 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 Vitória this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Emmanuel Martínez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Matheuzinho was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.93. 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.
