Tuna Luso run riot against Iguatu
5‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

A debut André Lopes will not forget — 8.08
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 8.08 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

The crowd has taken to André Lopes
At 14 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.

Mateus Lima steps up from the Tuna Luso academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mateus Lima 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.
