The Atletico Goianiense Herald
Player ratings31 May 2027
André Silva was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 33. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Match29 May 2027
The wait goes on for Atletico Goianiense
6 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.

Guilherme Marques 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 Atletico Goianiense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match29 May 2027
The goals have deserted Atletico Goianiense
4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Atletico Goianiense can tell you which week it ends in.
Match29 May 2027
No clean sheets in sight for Atletico Goianiense
5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.
Match29 May 2027
Fluminense take the points off Atletico Goianiense
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Atletico Goianiense lose Fernando Alves
23 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Jean Dias 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.
The dugout31 May 2027
Caio Moreira faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Caio Moreira after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Leandro Vilela
- The dugout The form table has caught Geovane
- Looking ahead Geovane goes back to face Cruzeiro
