The terraces

The crowd has taken to Fernando Macedo

At 22 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.

Market

Rodrygo Bezerra steps up from the Uberlândia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rodrygo Bezerra 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.

Match

Uberlândia see off Operário-MS

Three points for Uberlândia, 1‑0 the final word against Operário-MS in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

One of those days for Juan Carlos

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.02, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

Cristiano Braga: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

Kauã Paes does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Jonatas Paulista

12 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Tomás Álvarez Castillo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 8. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Djalma says his piece

“If we are going to be beaten, let it not be because somebody in here could not be bothered.” He stood up and said it in front of everybody, which is a thing a squad remembers about a man for years.

In brief
