Paulo Vitor keeps Atlético Goianiense in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Mateus Macedo, 21, steals the show — 7.79
Marked 7.79 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

A falling-out at Atlético Goianiense
Adriano Mina and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

One of their own: Mateus Macedo
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

A bad afternoon for Atlético Goianiense against América Mineiro
0‑2 to América Mineiro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

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

Atlético Goianiense promote Rafinha from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Rafinha 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.

Fernando Martins steps up from the Atlético Goianiense academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fernando Martins 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.
