Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Jérémy Livolant

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match26 Oct 2026

Casa Pia sink to position 16

10 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match24 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Casa Pia

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Gustavo Ferreira keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Casa Pia may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Dominik Prpić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Casa Pia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Casa Pia against Santa Clara

0‑2 to Santa Clara, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Abdu Conté gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch26 Oct 2026

Kevin Prieto counts the days

“I watch every Casa Pia game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Benfica runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Jota asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match3 Oct 2026

Nowhere to hide for Casa Pia

1‑5 against Benfica, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market5 Oct 2026

João Goulart puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Casa Pia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Casa Pia

Jérémy Livolant 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Costly mistake from Patrick Sequeira

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Patrick Sequeira knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of David Sousa

“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.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 108% of everything Casa Pia earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Market5 Oct 2026

Casa Pia and Cassiano are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Nobody left the Casa Pia dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Tiago Morais runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Lawrence Ofori

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 33 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market7 Sep 2026

João Goulart asks to leave Casa Pia

“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.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Dominik Prpić

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Casa Pia

Dominik Prpić 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.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

João Marques in the eights

A performance of 8.97 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match5 Sep 2026

João Marques sends Casa Pia past Vizela

It finished 1‑0, and it was João Marques’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Casa Pia.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Pedro Ferreira shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market7 Sep 2026

Talks stall between Casa Pia and Jérémy Livolant

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Pedro Ferreira knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Casa Pia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match15 Aug 2026

Chastening afternoon for Casa Pia

A 1‑4 beating by Porto was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market17 Aug 2026

Kaíque Rocha puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Casa Pia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Jérémy Livolant again

The phone has started ringing about Jérémy Livolant again, and this time the name on the line is Benfica. Casa Pia are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market17 Aug 2026

Casa Pia turn down Braga for Ivan Mandić

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Casa Pia count the cost of losing Sebastián Pérez

92 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jérémy Livolant in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Casa Pia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Abdu Conté

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abdu Conté, and the manager let it.

Market17 Aug 2026

The Kevin Prieto conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Benfica will make the call about Kevin Prieto this week. Casa Pia have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

In brief
