The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Avaí may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings17 Apr 2028
Lucas Paquetá goes up and wins it — 7.91
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.91 for the rest of it.

The manager makes an example of Yuri Tanque
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

One of our own: Marcos Guimarães joins the Avaí first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcos Guimarães is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Avaí promote José Bezerra from within
- Market Avaí promote Pedro Pereira from within
- Match Avaí make home a hard place to visit
