Match

No mercy from Uberlândia

Azuriz will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Uberlândia were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

Allyson scores twice — 8.20

Two goals and a mark of 8.20 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Both of them Caick's — 8.15

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Vintage João Henrique — 8.27

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.27, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Caick stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Caick and Uberlândia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

The game went through Testinha — 6.86

Marked 6.86 on 14 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Bautista Chiarelli

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Uberlândia settle it inside twenty minutes

3 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Azuriz spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Squad

Caick has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Uberlândia know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Denival

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

No end in sight to Uberlândia's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Uberlândia has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

João Henrique 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 Uberlândia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Uberlândia come up short against Brasil de Pelotas

Brasil de Pelotas left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

This league is too small for Denival

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Uberlândia will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Still no ink between Uberlândia and Genílson

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Uberlândia, another week without a signature from Genílson.

The dugout

Mateus Porto faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mateus Porto after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Carlos Rodrigues signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Carlos Rodrigues commits to Uberlândia for another 3 years.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Carlos Rodrigues

“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.

In brief

  • The dugout Dunga left out for tactical reasons at Uberlândia
  • Player ratings The afternoon ran through Allyson
  • The dugout Doidinho knocks on the manager's door
