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

Branquinho steps up from the Treze academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Branquinho 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.

Both jobs done by Danilo Fonseca — 6.56

Treze lose Victor Rangel
53 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Nobody left the Treze 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.

Wesley Alves answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
