The Juventude Sentinel
Match8 Aug 2026
Chastening afternoon for Juventude
A 2‑6 beating by Cruzeiro was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Jandrei keeps Juventude in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Gabriel Taliari 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 Juventude this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
A goal and an assist for Gabriel Taliari — 7.90
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.90 beside his name.

8 goals as Juventude and Cruzeiro go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Juventude and Cruzeiro, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Alisson Safira’s goal not enough for Juventude
Alisson Safira scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Fluminense, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

One of our own: Ronny joins the Juventude first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ronny is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Caio Araujo steps up from the Juventude academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Caio Araujo 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.
