A fracture rules Zéca out for 60 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Horizonte will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A day Guilherme Carvalho will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Horizonte are in among the leaders
Position 3 and 23 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Guilherme Carvalho is carrying Horizonte
19 goals and a season average of 7.33. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Guilherme Carvalho’s goal not enough for Horizonte
Guilherme Carvalho scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Santa Cruz, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Guilherme Carvalho among the goals in a wild afternoon
7 goals in one match, Guilherme Carvalho on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Horizonte and Santa Cruz.

The crowd has taken to Vinícius Araujo
At 22 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.
