A 0‑3 beating by Maricá was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

José Luis Colombo 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.

Éder Figueiredo falls out with a teammate over standards
