0‑3 against Tuna Luso, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

One of our own: Fábio Machado joins the Iguatu first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Fábio Machado is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Caio Soares falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
