Fortaleza are out and Vitória go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Dudu shuts the door
Defensive actions: 34, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Pablo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Vitória
Marinho 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.
Match15 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Vitória against Fluminense
0‑1 to Fluminense, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Francisco in the eights
A performance of 8.41 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The manager makes an example of Caíque Gonçalves
“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.

Diego Tarzia knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Diego Tarzia trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
