The Itabaiana Chronicle
Match19 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Itabaiana's wait for a win
10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Itabaiana has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Itabaiana
Octávio Silva 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.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Junio Lopes was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The formation has left Kauã Costa behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Itabaiana will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
Market21 Sep 2026
Itabaiana sign Kauã Costa, one for the future
Kauã Costa is 20, and Itabaiana have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Half-satisfied: João Santos on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
Match19 Sep 2026
Itabaiana and Figueirense cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Figueirense came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Igor Lima
“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.

The Wendel question follows Itabaiana around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Wendel’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
In brief
- Squad Kauã Costa remains an outsider
- The dugout No place in the plan for Vinícius Cunha
- Squad Vinicius has company in his position
