A frustrating draw
Fifth place, 37 points, and a 1-1 home draw against São Bernardo that tasted like a loss. Ten wins in 23 matches show a steady Leão, but one that still hasn't found top gear. With over 10,000 fans at the Castelão, the Tricolor deserved to walk off with all three points.
Criciúma is next
On the 23rd, Fortaleza travels to face Criciúma away from home. A brutal fixture against a rival scrapping for the top of the table, in a ground where mistakes get punished. Training has already started at the Pici, and the message is simple: points in Santa Catarina are worth gold in the G-4 chase.
Attack back in full
The big news of the week was three forwards returning for the São Bernardo match, and that changes the whole shape of the side. More firepower up front is exactly what the Leão needed to turn dull draws into wins. Now let's see if Criciúma is where the switch finally flips.
