71 days out for Pesadelo after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Lagarto will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The scrutiny sharpens at Lagarto
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Lagarto is running low.
Match25 Oct 2027
Lagarto are in real trouble now
Position 15, 22 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

A defender's goal wins it for Lagarto — 7.85
1 for Pajé, marked 7.85, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
Match23 Oct 2027
The drought breaks for Lagarto
7 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Juazeirense were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Words exchanged at Lagarto
Ezequiel Sánchez 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.

Lagarto see off Juazeirense
Three points for Lagarto, 2‑1 the final word against Juazeirense in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The crowd has taken to Danilo
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

One of our own: Daniel Moura joins the Lagarto first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Moura is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- The dugout Felipe Guimarães frozen out at Lagarto
- The dugout Márcio Porto has his say
- The dugout No hiding place for Guilherme Machado
