Fourth, and hurting
The Lion is still 4th in Série B on 34 points, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in 20 games. But the weekend stung: 0-3 to Palmeiras in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. There wasn't much to argue about in São Paulo. The team showed up flat and paid dearly.
Comeback at the Pici
A three-goal hole is a mountain, but Fortaleza has climbed worse with a packed Pici behind it. The club listed 27 players for the tie and already put tickets on sale for the Copa do Brasil match. If this spot in the quarters is still breathing anywhere, it's at home, with the Arena pushing from minute one.
Machuca sold
Independiente closed the deal for Imanol Machuca, and Fortaleza gets paid — money the books needed, and a chance to strengthen elsewhere in the squad. Beyond that, the day was all post-mortem: lineups, numbers and the wreckage of São Paulo. Cold summary: we lost a player and we lost a match.
