Match28 Nov 2026

A hiding for Porto Velho

Beaten 1‑4 by Goiânia, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The terraces30 Nov 2026

Supporters organise against the Porto Velho board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad30 Nov 2026

8 saves: Luís Fonseca was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match28 Nov 2026

6 matches without a win for Porto Velho

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Porto Velho are no longer polite ones.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Alfredo Torales 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 Porto Velho this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Porto Velho

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mauricio Luiz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Wages eat 178% of everything Porto Velho 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.

Match30 Nov 2026

The half-term report on Porto Velho

Position 16, 6 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Doors closed at Porto Velho

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

Anger at Porto Velho spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Porto Velho

Daniel Roca and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Porto Velho

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Toca was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Wages swallow 178% of the Porto Velho income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Igor 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

Porto Velho come up short against Luverdense

Luverdense left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad2 Nov 2026

This league is too small for Igor

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Porto Velho will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market2 Nov 2026

Porto Velho and Daniel Roca 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.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Arthur Ribeiro faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Arthur Ribeiro after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match19 Oct 2026

Every point is an argument now for Porto Velho

Position 14 and 6 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market19 Oct 2026

Cristiano Soares asks to leave Porto Velho

“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 ratings19 Oct 2026

Up for the corner, and Tico delivers — 7.37

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Tico scored, was marked 7.37, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Porto Velho

Daelson 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Porto Velho

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mauricio Luiz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 Oct 2026

Porto Velho come up short against Pouso Alegre

Pouso Alegre left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Too much change too quickly at Porto Velho

13 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Arthur Ribeiro: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tico scores his first for Porto Velho

The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.
