The Torreense Post
Player ratings29 Mar 2027
João Marques was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Still nobody has beaten Torreense
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.

No sign of nerves from Paulinho at 21 — 8.81
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Paulinho did not need any: 8.81, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

David Bruno: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Torreense have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Bob Omoregbe asks to leave Torreense
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Getting past Adriel has become the hardest job in the division
14 clean sheets and counting. Forwards used to back themselves here; now they shoot early, shoot wide, and look for somebody to blame.

One of their own: Paulinho
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Torreense find a way past Benfica B
Benfica B made Torreense work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The manager makes an example of Edimar
“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.
