“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Aparecidense may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Aparecidense

Match17 Apr 2027
Aparecidense and Mixto take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
