A one-man rearguard from Capitão
There were 13 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Manauara out of the cup
Vasco da Gama ended it 0‑12. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A cup embarrassment at Vasco da Gama follows Manauara home
0-12. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

The stands have turned
“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 4 of the 15 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

12 goals as Manauara and Vasco da Gama go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 12 goals between Manauara and Vasco da Gama, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Nobody left the Manauara 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.

Júnior Ribeiro runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A costly moment from Matheus Viana
One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Manauara, and it is a cruel one.

Carlinhos takes the honours
Marked 7.03 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Manauara had the best player on the pitch.
In brief
- The dugout José Borges on the point
- Player ratings Carlos Silva never got going
- Market Mário Lúcio brings the grey hairs Manauara lacked
