A falling-out at Paysandu
JP Galvão and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

No hiding place for João Paulo
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to João Paulo, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at Paysandu
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Facundo Bonifazi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A masterclass from Edílson Júnior
Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The game went through Márcio Júnior — 6.92
Marked 6.92 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Two points walk out of the ground
Level with 94 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Paysandu had all but put away. ABC will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Kleiton Pego runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Rodrigo Moreira stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Rodrigo Moreira and Paysandu agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Paysandu share the spoils with ABC
A 1‑1 draw with ABC leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
In brief
- The dugout Danilo Carvalho: “We have to be better”
- The dugout No place in the plan for João Paulo
- The dugout Delis Vargas gets picked when it counts
