Match

No end in sight to Porto Vitória's wait for a win

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

Match

Sérgio Pacheco’s goal not enough for Porto Vitória

Sérgio Pacheco scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Mixto, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

Danilo Soares steps up from the Porto Vitória academy

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

Arthur Amaral answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market

Experience through the door at Porto Vitória

Fábio Alves arrives at 38 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sérgio Fonseca

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sérgio Fonseca, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Sérgio Fonseca is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Player ratings

Diego Rosa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Wesley Fernandes 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.

In brief
