Marked for Daniel Rocha

Player ratings

Both of them Tiago Porto's — 8.48

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.48, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Remember the name: João Guimarães

He is 21, he is averaging 7.08, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad

Real improvement from Daniel Rocha at Goiânia

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Rocha is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words exchanged at Goiânia

Tiago Porto 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.

Match

Goiânia get the job done against Luverdense

A 2‑0 win over Luverdense, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

A row about effort at Goiânia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Danilo Oliveira was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Guilherme Porto, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Rafael Tavares

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 12 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Sérgio Gomes

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

José Fernandes is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tiago Porto 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 Goiânia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Danilo Oliveira 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.

Squad

João Guimarães is the month’s best young player

At 21 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. Goiânia will try not to make too much of it.

Boardroom

107% of the income goes out in wages at Goiânia

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Player ratings

Wesllen Reis beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Guilherme Porto on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Market

No place for Daniel Rocha in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Daniel Rocha has his answer from Goiânia; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Match

No goals between Goiânia and Água Santa

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Água Santa will be the happier side with the point.
