Everaldo lights up a European night for Bahia
1‑1 against Cortulua, and a performance that will be described to people who were not there for the rest of the season. Everaldo was at the centre of the description.

Willian Peixoto steps up from the Bahia academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Willian Peixoto has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
