Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for CSA — 7.59

1 for Camacho, marked 7.59, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match

Still nobody has beaten CSA

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Tempers go at CSA

Luiz Felipe 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.

Player ratings

Matheus Melo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

CSA get the job done against Ituano

A 3‑1 win over Ituano, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Bruno Oliveira at his very best

Marked 8.20. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at CSA.

Match

Late, late show earns CSA a point

Minute 87, against Botafogo-PB, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Squad

13 new faces, and CSA are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match

CSA and Botafogo-PB 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.

Player ratings

Paulo Souza could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.42

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.42, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad

Luiz Felipe gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Luiz Felipe has just signed for CSA, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

CSA make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now CSA have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Luiz Felipe signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Luiz Felipe commits to CSA for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at CSA

Camacho 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Paulo Souza

He is 16 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market

Brabo steps up from the CSA academy

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

Market

CSA promote Bruno Tavares from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Tavares has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

CSA promote Éder Nardo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Éder Nardo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
