Javier Soto leads the rout of Joinville
7‑0, and Javier Soto took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Brasil de Pelotas tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Both of them Wesley Guimarães's — 8.25
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.25, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Narigudo, 20, steals the show — 7.70
Marked 7.70 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Spaeri come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Brasil de Pelotas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Wesley Rocha signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Wesley Rocha commits to Brasil de Pelotas for another 4 years.

A falling-out at Brasil de Pelotas
Wesley Rocha and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
A goal and an assist for Vinícius Lopes — 7.91
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.91 beside his name.

7 goals as Brasil de Pelotas and Joinville go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Brasil de Pelotas and Joinville, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Brasil de Pelotas supporters have found a favourite in Narigudo
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Narigudo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
