4 matches without a win for Retrô
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Retrô are no longer polite ones.

Igor Morais shuts the door
Defensive actions: 23, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

One of our own: Trator joins the Retrô first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Trator is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Retrô promote Marcos Moura from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marcos Moura has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Guilherme Moreira steps up from the Retrô academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Guilherme Moreira has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Igor Farias on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Igor Farias after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Retrô and Ituano cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Ituano came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Nothing got past João Araujo
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 12 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Retrô pick somebody else ahead of Daniel Araujo
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.
In brief
- The dugout Nene left out for tactical reasons at Retrô
- Squad Marcelo Carné speaks, and the room listens
- Looking ahead Retrô travel to ABC
