6 saves: Mateus Claus was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Roberto, 36, rolls back the years — 8.18
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.18 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Up for the corner, and Lorran delivers — 7.48
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Lorran scored, was marked 7.48, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Daniel Neves the difference as Caxias beat Brasil de Pelotas
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Daniel Neves. 3‑1 against Brasil de Pelotas, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

A row about effort at Caxias
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Calyson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Words exchanged at Caxias
Lorran and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

One of their own: Daniel Neves
He is 15 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.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Eduardo Silva, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

No place in the plan for Felipe Augusto
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
