Match29 Aug 2026

Mixto taken apart

0‑3 to Goianésia, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match29 Aug 2026

4 matches without a win for Mixto

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Mixto are no longer polite ones.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mixto

Jean was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

Mixto are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Squad31 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Jean

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Mixto will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The formation has left Alberte behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Mixto will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Boardroom31 Aug 2026

Inquest at Mixto

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market31 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Mixto and Guilherme Kanté

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Mixto

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Luidy scores twice — 8.21

Two goals and a mark of 8.21 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Igor Silva could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.75

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.75, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Igor Silva

At 14 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Luidy the difference as Mixto beat Aparecidense

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luidy. 2‑0 against Aparecidense, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

One of our own: Luiz Santos joins the Mixto first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luiz Santos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Roberto Rocha steps up from the Mixto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Roberto Rocha 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Márcio Freitas joins the Mixto first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Márcio Freitas is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Danilo Cunha steps up from the Mixto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Danilo Cunha 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.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

A satisfied João Araujo

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, João Araujo could afford to be generous.
