Match26 Sep 2026

Central run riot against Horizonte

7‑2, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Jude Bellingham takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match26 Sep 2026

Nobody wants to play Central right now

6 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.

No sign of nerves from Lyan at 17 — 8.12

The hardest thing about being 17 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Lyan did not need any: 8.12, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Up for the corner, and Marc Solís delivers — 7.99

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Marc Solís scored, was marked 7.99, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Federico Valverde 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Relâmpago 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 Central this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Sep 2026

Jude Bellingham among the goals in a wild afternoon

9 goals in one match, Jude Bellingham on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Central and Horizonte.

Match26 Sep 2026

Central are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Match15 Aug 2026

Central tear Sergipe apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 6‑0 against Sergipe, and it could have been more.

Match12 Aug 2026

Central bow out of the cup

Volta Redonda go through and Central go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A day Paulo Barbosa 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Relâmpago takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Bruno Guimarães keeps Central in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

General, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Central

Relâmpago 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

6 goals as Central and Sergipe go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Central and Sergipe, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Relâmpago in the eights

A performance of 9.63 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
