The mood at Porto Vitória has turned into something else
Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Igor Carvalho keeps Porto Vitória in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Rodrigo Guimarães frozen out at Porto Vitória
This is not rotation. Rodrigo Guimarães has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Porto Vitória is pretending otherwise.

A falling-out at Porto Vitória
Márcio and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Porto Vitória supporters have found a favourite in Igor Carvalho
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Igor Carvalho has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Porto Vitória find a way past Pouso Alegre
Pouso Alegre made Porto Vitória work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The manager makes an example of Sidnei

The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Bruno Figueiredo kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
