The Maritimo Chronicle
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Samuel Bamba beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 41. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Raphael Guzzo goes up and wins it — 7.63
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 7.63 for the rest of it.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Maritimo
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Martín Tejón was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Bryan Limbombe
“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.
Match12 Sep 2026
Maritimo caught on 93 minutes
The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Lusitânia Lourosa scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.
Match12 Sep 2026
Honours even between Maritimo and Lusitânia Lourosa
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Half-satisfied: Nuno Nascimento on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 2‑2, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
Market14 Sep 2026
The Maxime Dominguez talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Maritimo know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Looking ahead14 Sep 2026
Raphael Guzzo goes back to face Vizela
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Raphael Guzzo’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Maritimo needing him to play as if none of it matters.
In brief
- The dugout Romain Correia does not fit this one
- Player ratings Half an hour was enough for Simo
