Squad28 Sep 2026

11 saves: Felipe was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 11 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Lagarto's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lagarto has to find a result from somewhere.

Match26 Sep 2026

Lagarto are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 8 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Lagarto — 7.70

1 for Felipe Afonso, marked 7.70, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Felipe Afonso 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 Lagarto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Lagarto against Ferroviário

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Lagarto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fábio Sá 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Benjamín Catalán stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Benjamín Catalán and Lagarto agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market28 Sep 2026

Talks stall between Lagarto and Gadiel

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Match19 Sep 2026

Nowhere to hide for Lagarto

0‑3 against Central, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match19 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Lagarto's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lagarto has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Felipe

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Lagarto leaking at the back

7 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Lagarto

Geovani 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Lagarto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fábio Sá 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.

Boardroom21 Sep 2026

Nobody left the Lagarto dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Gadiel is a square peg at Lagarto

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market21 Sep 2026

Still no ink between Lagarto and Matheus Goiás

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Lagarto, another week without a signature from Matheus Goiás.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad7 Sep 2026

Alason Carioca stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alason Carioca and Ituano agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Guilherme Xavier 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Ituano

Lipe and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Marlon Yan named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Marlon Yan is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market7 Sep 2026

Ituano and Alason Carioca are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Lucas Dias is still paying for one afternoon at Ituano

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Gadiel 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Nelsinho gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nelsinho is on it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Marthã runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Ituano money.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match12 Aug 2026

Ituano march on in the cup

Guarany de Bagé are out and Ituano go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match15 Aug 2026

Ituano run riot against Caxias

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

What a way to start for Gadiel — 7.37

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.37 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Lucas Stefanello was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market17 Aug 2026

Marlon Yan turns Sabail down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody wants to play Ituano right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Neto Berola, 38, rolls back the years — 8.06

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.06 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Ituano

Neto Berola 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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

One of their own: Lucas Stefanello

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

In brief
