Match

No end in sight to Joinville's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Joinville has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Thiago Henrique was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

6 matches without a goal for Joinville

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 6 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Johan Osorio 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 Joinville this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Arruda stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Arruda and Joinville agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Roberto Assis steps up from the Joinville academy

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

Filipe 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

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Marcos Souza was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Joinville dressing room was either.

The dugout

André Dias knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Joinville, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief

  • Match No goals between Joinville and Barra
  • The dugout No place in the plan for Pablo
  • Market The Filipe talk will not go away
