Squad2 Nov 2026

95 days out for Henrique Rodrigues after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Central will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match2 Nov 2026

Central are in among the leaders

Position 3 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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Danilo Nardo asks to leave Central

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match31 Oct 2026

Central get the job done against Ferroviário

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

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Luís Pacheco was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.32. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Looking ahead2 Nov 2026

Top-of-the-table clash for Central

Santa Cruz next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Yi Teng 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.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Wages eat 95% of everything Central earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Júnior Nogueira 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.

In brief

  • Squad João Pereira makes the team of the month
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Market No place for Yi Teng in the plan

Squad5 Oct 2026

123 days out for Henrique Rodrigues after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Central will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match5 Oct 2026

Central up to position 3

18 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market5 Oct 2026

Danilo Nardo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Central can pretend not to have heard.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Rafael Cunha is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Antônio Souza in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Igor Fonseca 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.

Match3 Oct 2026

Central see off União

Three points for Central, 2‑0 the final word against União in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Igor Fonseca

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.20, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Valentino Lucero was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

In brief

  • Boardroom Wages eat 88% of everything Central earn
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Player ratings The chances came and went for Mágico

Match15 Aug 2026

No mercy from Central

Sergipe will want this one forgotten quickly: 9‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Central were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match12 Aug 2026

Central out of the cup

Volta Redonda ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Luís Pacheco takes the afternoon — 9.01

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luís Pacheco provided it, and the 9.01 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Valentino Lucero 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

Carlos Batista takes the match ball home

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

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup embarrassment at Volta Redonda follows Central home

0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Market17 Aug 2026

Danilo Nardo 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 Central, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Central

Antônio Souza 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

9 goals as Central and Sergipe go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 9 goals between Central and Sergipe, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

In brief
