The Náutico Courier
Match8 Aug 2026
No mercy from Náutico
Ypiranga will want this one forgotten quickly: 12‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Náutico were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Nowhere to hide for Náutico
0‑3 against São Bernardo, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Age has not caught Paulo Sérgio yet — 9.84
At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.84 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
Match8 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
12 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Náutico and Ypiranga in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Jorge Mora arrives at the club he grew up with
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Jorge Mora has, at Náutico, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Ninety minutes of Júnior Todinho at his very best
Marked 9.58. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Náutico.
In brief
