Urso damages knee ligaments — 14 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Match12 Sep 2026
Tuna Luso 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.

One of our own: Roni joins the Tuna Luso 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.

A bad afternoon for Tuna Luso against Imperatriz
0‑1 to Imperatriz, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

André Porto: “No excuses”

Testinha was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 14. 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.

A test against the best for Tuna Luso
The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Sampaio Corrêa.
In brief
