Match15 Aug 2026

No mercy from Floresta

Ypiranga will want this one forgotten quickly: 8‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Floresta were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match12 Aug 2026

André Costa sends Floresta through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and André Costa obliged against Manaus. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Floresta.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Bismark takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Cedric takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Bismark, 33, rolls back the years — 9.73

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.73 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

No sign of nerves from Luiz Amaral at 14 — 7.61

The hardest thing about being 14 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Luiz Amaral did not need any: 7.61, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Up for the corner, and Marco Antônio delivers — 7.90

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Marco Antônio scored, was marked 7.90, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Floresta

Cedric and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Cedric among the goals in a wild afternoon

9 goals in one match, Cedric on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Floresta and Ypiranga.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Floresta

1‑6 against São Bernardo, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A debut Marcelo Machado will not forget — 7.20

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.20 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A first appearance Lucas Costa will want to forget — 5.48

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.48, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Floresta

Cedric 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Marcelo Machado among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Marcelo Machado on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Floresta and São Bernardo.

Match4 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Floresta against Guarani

0‑2 to Guarani, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Roberto Borges steps up from the Floresta academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Roberto Borges 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.

Floresta promote Diego Alves from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Diego Alves 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.

In brief

  • Market Lucas Costa steps up from the Floresta academy
  • Boardroom Nobody left the Floresta dressing room in a hurry
  • Squad 7 new faces, and Floresta are still learning each other
