Match

Horizonte are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 25 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Roberto Araujo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Horizonte, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Henrique Lima

18 goals and a season average of 7.22 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad

Lucas Costa 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 Horizonte this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Henrique Lima among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Henrique Lima on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Horizonte and Santa Cruz.

Match

A bad afternoon for Horizonte against Santa Cruz

2‑4 to Santa Cruz, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Éder Mendes 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.

Match

The run is over for Horizonte

4 matches without defeat, and then Santa Cruz. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Squad

Éder Borges out for 27 days

The medical room confirms 27 days on the sidelines for Éder Borges, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

In brief
