The Marcílio Dias Chronicle
Squad10 Aug 2026
A day Davi Schwenck will not forget
5 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.

No mercy from Marcílio Dias
Uberlândia will want this one forgotten quickly: 11‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Marcílio Dias were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

What a way to start for Pedro das Neves — 9.15
2 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 9.15 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Davi Schwenck, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 9.92
A mark of 9.92 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A day Roldan 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.
Match8 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
11 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Marcílio Dias and Uberlândia in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Marcílio Dias supporters have found a favourite in Miguel Silva
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Miguel Silva has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
