Player ratings

João Henrique, 33, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Tempers go at Pouso Alegre

João Henrique was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

One of our own: Caio Lima joins the Pouso Alegre first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Caio Lima is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

Luís Carlos 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.

Match

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Bruno Teixeira was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Pouso Alegre dressing room was either.

The dugout

Mateus Manso knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mateus Manso trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings

Jeferson Torales was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. 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.

In brief
