The Vitória Gazette
Match19 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Vitória's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Vitória has to find a result from somewhere.

Marinho scores twice — 8.49
Two goals and a mark of 8.49 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Emmanuel Martínez 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 Vitória this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Matheuzinho runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match19 Sep 2026
Honours even between Vitória and Atlético Mineiro
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Vitória pick somebody else ahead of Jamerson
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Baralhas has to sit this one out
A booking nobody needed, on a night the game was already won. Vitória lose a player for the most avoidable reason there is.

Andrei leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Andrei leaves Vitória the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
