Danilo Amaral steps up from the Bragantino academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Danilo Amaral 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.

Santos take the points off Bragantino
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Fabinho 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 Bragantino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
In brief
- Squad Too much change too quickly at Bragantino
- The dugout Samuel Lopes answers for it
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Eduardo Sasha
