Central take the points off Barcelona de Ilhéus
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Bruno Assis 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.
