24 saves: Carlos Monteiro was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 24 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Lagarto

0‑4 against América de Natal, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match12 Aug 2026

The small margins put Lagarto out

Out, 0‑13 to Bragantino, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup embarrassment at Bragantino follows Lagarto home

0-13. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Match15 Aug 2026

4 matches without a win for Lagarto

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Lagarto are no longer polite ones.

Match12 Aug 2026

13 goals as Lagarto and Bragantino go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 13 goals between Lagarto and Bragantino, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Lagarto 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 dugout17 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 0‑4 defeat, delivered by Willian Correia to a room that had heard them before.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Lagarto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Carlos Monteiro is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 3 of the 12 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

A debut to forget for Danilo Rocha — 5.75

Every first appearance is one of two stories, and this was the harder one: 5.75, and a long walk to the tunnel. The second appearance is the one that decides what the first one meant.

Match8 Aug 2026

Lagarto come up short against Barcelona de Ilhéus

Barcelona de Ilhéus left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

One of our own: Carlos Monteiro joins the Lagarto first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Carlos Monteiro is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Lagarto promote Vinícius Assis from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vinícius Assis 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sérgio Costa steps up from the Lagarto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sérgio Costa 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.

Victor Silva steps up from the Lagarto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Victor Silva 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.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Willian Correia answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

A costly moment from Samuel Carvalho

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Lagarto, and it is a cruel one.
