Match

The wait goes on for Altos

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Vinicius in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Altos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Dudu will join Altos for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Dudu has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Altos have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market

One of our own: Roni joins the Altos first team

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

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Tsumita

7.74, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Altos had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Victor Souza on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

Rei gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Lucas Villagra left out for tactical reasons at Altos

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

Altos draw a blank against Águia de Marabá

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Águia de Marabá defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

In brief
