Anger at Amazonas spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sérgio Costa
25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Amazonas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Lucas Esquivel turns down Amazonas
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Athletico Paranaense keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Player ratings14 Jun 2027
The game went through Buiú — 7.25
Marked 7.25 on 20 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
Player ratings14 Jun 2027
Samuel Félix pops up at the right end — 7.58
7.58, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Mateus Cantarelli arrives at Amazonas in a $1.1M statement of intent
There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Amazonas have paid $1.1M for Mateus Cantarelli, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.
Match12 Jun 2027
No end in sight to Amazonas's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Amazonas has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Amazonas
Fernandinho 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.

Athletic Club take the points off Amazonas
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
- Transfer targets Door shut on Carlos Durán
- Match CSA take the points off Amazonas
- Market André Pacheco steps up from the Amazonas academy
