Gabriel Bontempo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

David Terans 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.
Match16 Jun 2029
6 unbeaten for Parana
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Parana did not have in the autumn.

Words at Parana training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agdon is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Parana pick somebody else ahead of Agdon
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

When it matters, Gabriel Bontempo plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
Match16 Jun 2029
Parana and Ceará cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Ceará came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Nothing got past Eduardo
12 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

An afternoon Lucas Bueno will want back
Marked 5.50. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.
In brief
- Market The shop window has Martín Boselli in it
- Market Luiz Rocha leaves for nothing
- Market Willian Nardo leaves for nothing
