Match7 Nov 2026
Still nobody has beaten Pro Patria
The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

A falling-out at Pro Patria
Tommy Maistrello and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Pro Patria
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Georgi Tunjov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match7 Nov 2026
Pro Patria cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Nobody could get near Georgi Tunjov
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Giuseppe D'Amico steps up from the Pro Patria academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Giuseppe D'Amico 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.

Still no ink between Pro Patria and Cesare Pogliano
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Pro Patria, another week without a signature from Cesare Pogliano.

Nobody on the pitch touched Cesare Pogliano
7.40, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Pro Patria had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Diego Gentile was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Pro Patria dressing room was either.
