The knee: Pedro Emanuel out for 34 days
34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Sampaio Corrêa lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

No mercy from Sampaio Corrêa
Manaus will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Sampaio Corrêa were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Cavi scores twice — 8.50
Two goals and a mark of 8.50 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

A brace, and Neto takes the afternoon — 8.44
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Neto provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A move Everton would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Everton is living that version at Sampaio Corrêa, and it tends to show in the first month.

Cristian Santos, 33, rolls back the years — 7.83
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.83 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Everton stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Everton and Sampaio Corrêa agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Sampaio Corrêa
Ball 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.

Fernando Moreira steps up from the Sampaio Corrêa academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fernando Moreira 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.
