Match3 Oct 2026

No mercy from Brasil de Pelotas

Marcílio Dias will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Brasil de Pelotas were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match5 Oct 2026

Brasil de Pelotas are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 20 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A brace, and Vitor Queiroz takes the afternoon — 8.96

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vitor Queiroz provided it, and the 8.96 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Thiago Mendes keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Brasil de Pelotas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Figueiredo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Figueiredo commits to Brasil de Pelotas for another 4 years.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Brasil de Pelotas

Daniel di Pauli 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Defences have started doubling up on Vitor Queiroz

14 goals and a season average of 7.23 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

Brasil de Pelotas supporters have found a favourite in André Nardo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. André Nardo 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

André Nardo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.58. 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Not going: Matheus Santos stays at Brasil de Pelotas

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Shamakhi had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Squad31 Aug 2026

9 saves: Thiago Mendes was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match25 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas bow out of the cup

Santos go through and Brasil de Pelotas go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Caio Rangel scores twice — 9.04

Two goals and a mark of 9.04 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market31 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas turn down Dunav Ruse for Vitor Correia

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Matheus Santos, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.62

A mark of 7.62 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas get the job done against Guarany de Bagé

A 3‑1 win over Guarany de Bagé, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas supporters have found a favourite in Vitor Correia

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Vitor Correia 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Anderson Mauro

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad3 Aug 2026

7 saves: Thiago Mendes was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Matheus Xavier, 21, steals the show — 7.76

Marked 7.76 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market3 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas turn down Alashkert for Fábio Assis

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market3 Aug 2026

Vitor Queiroz has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Brasil de Pelotas can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market3 Aug 2026

Laçi watching Vitor Correia

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Brasil de Pelotas have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Brasil de Pelotas and Cianorte in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match1 Aug 2026

Cianorte take the points off Brasil de Pelotas

Beaten 2‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Brasil de Pelotas beat the market to Figueiredo from Palmeiras

Palmeiras will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Figueiredo has pre-agreed a move to Brasil de Pelotas, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Brasil de Pelotas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matheus Santos is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
