Match29 Aug 2026

Rio Branco throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Ceilândia the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Rio Branco will enjoy reviewing.

Squad31 Aug 2026

8 saves: Kauan Firmino was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match29 Aug 2026

Rio Branco come up short against Ceilândia

Ceilândia left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑3 defeat, delivered by Daniel Lopes to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Fábio Cavalcante

“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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Réggis runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Réggis has taken the shirt

At 20 he is in the side on merit and somebody else is watching from the bench. Places at Rio Branco are won quietly and lost loudly.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The plan did not have a place for André Oliveira

Nobody at Rio Branco is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Réggis in the team of the week — 6.76

6.76 across the ninety minutes, and a place in the division’s best eleven for it. Nobody who saw the match will argue.

Match8 Aug 2026

A hiding for Rio Branco

Beaten 0‑4 by Maricá, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad10 Aug 2026

9 saves: Fábio Cavalcante was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The stands have turned

“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 6 of the 21 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

Market10 Aug 2026

André Oliveira steps up from the Rio Branco academy

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

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Victor Souza joins the Rio Branco first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Victor Souza 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

Rio Branco promote Diego Fonseca from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Diego Fonseca 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.

Danilo Costa steps up from the Rio Branco academy

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Rio Branco dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Daniel Lopes: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
