A fracture rules Maxwell out for 115 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Parana will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Parana tear Boa apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Boa, and it could have been more.

A day Gabriel Bontempo will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Jorge keeps Parana in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Only the photograph left for Jean Acosta
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jean Acosta will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Parana the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Fabão is a Parana player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Maxwell in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of those days for Gabriel Bontempo
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.77, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Graduation day at Parana
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
In brief
