Both of them Ben-Hur's — 8.16
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.16, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Jhonnatha keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Itabaiana may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

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

Words at Itabaiana training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Ghigliazza is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Ben-Hur sends Itabaiana past Nova Iguaçu
It finished 2‑1, and it was Ben-Hur’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Itabaiana.

Douglas Tavares frozen out at Itabaiana
This is not rotation. Douglas Tavares has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Itabaiana is pretending otherwise.
Match23 Oct 2027
Ben-Hur at the heart of a fast Itabaiana start
2 goals inside twenty minutes with Ben-Hur in the middle of it, and Nova Iguaçu unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Fernando Ceará ran the middle of the pitch — 7.89
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 7.89, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Alex Araujo, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
