Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Vintage Robson — 7.97

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.97, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Juan Torres stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Torres and São Luiz agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at São Luiz

Matheus Lagoa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Claudivan 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

São Luiz get the job done against Marcílio Dias

A 2‑1 win over Marcílio Dias, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Edílson

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

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Claudivan was the difference for São Luiz

Marked 7.98. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at São Luiz

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Matheus Fonseca kept it short after the 2‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

In brief

  • The dugout No place in the plan for Edílson
  • The dugout The manager has not finished forgetting Daniel Borges's mistake

Squad31 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guilherme Braga

33 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. São Luiz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Claudivan scores twice — 8.33

Two goals and a mark of 8.33 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for São Luiz

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at São Luiz

Robson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Edílson

“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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Claudivan

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. São Luiz will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at São Luiz

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Match29 Aug 2026

São Luiz and Itabirito take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Matheus Fonseca on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Matheus Fonseca after the 2‑2 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Caio Oliveira keeps São Luiz in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 34 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match8 Aug 2026

Chastening afternoon for São Luiz

A 1‑8 beating by São José was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

What a way to start for Carlos Nogueira — 7.07

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.07 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 4 of the 12 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A debut to forget for Daniel Borges — 5.78

Every first appearance is one of two stories, and this was the harder one: 5.78, and a long walk to the tunnel. The second appearance is the one that decides what the first one meant.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

9 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about São Luiz and São José in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Caio Oliveira

At 16 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Sérgio Nardo joins the São Luiz first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sérgio Nardo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Guilherme Braga steps up from the São Luiz academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Guilherme Braga 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.
