Transfers
In:

Out:
- Goalkeeper Gatti's loan terminated (see below)
February 1, 2014
Sorriso 1 - 2 Cuiaba
A complete domination on the stat sheet that seems a lot closer on the scoreline, Fernando Jose scored his first goal and it seemed like another shutout, but he suffered a dead leg and Sorriso got a consolation penalty late in stoppage time, but that's all it was, a consolation.
February 5, 2014
Cuiaba 3 - 0 Mixto
Another demolition, Lourival picked up a brace, including a goal where the ball was tackled by a Mixto player seemingly right to him to finish for the goal.
February 9, 2014
Uniao Rondonopolis 0 - 2 Cuiaba
Fernando injured, but thankfully was just knocked out of this match and won't miss any time. We won 2-0, but it felt kinda lackadaisical.

Copa Verde 1st Round 1st Leg
Sao Raimundo 0 - 5 Cuiaba
The opposition was so pathetic I basically treated it as a U20s match for getting some of my players fit after recovering from injury. The scoreline is no shock, and this one is effectively over.
February 16, 2014
Cuiaba 7 - 0 Cacarense
A typical lopsided state championship scoreline. Elanardo picked up a hat trick, and Lucao scored his first goal.
February 19, 2014
Copa Verde 1st Round 2nd Leg
Cuiaba 1 - 0 Sao Raimundo (6 - 0 on aggregate)
Complacency clearly affected the team as I had to change the front three to try to avert a draw, and we did, but only a penalty saved it from being a draw. Still, we advance to the next round.
- Left back Ruan suffered a chest injury on February 22 and will miss 4-5 weeks.
February 23, 2014
Sinop 0 - 0 Cuiaba
Our first non-win, which is very disappointing, since we had so many chances but didn't do well with them. Even worse, midfielder Washington pulled his hamstring and will miss 5-6 weeks.
- Goalkeeper Gatti suffered a sports hernia on February 26 and will miss 2 months. His loan has been terminated. I don't need him since I have two other goalkeepers and his loan is paid so it just makes sense.
February 26, 2014
Copa Verde Quarter Final 1st Leg
Cuiaba 2 - 2 Remo
This match was kinda frustrating since they were a level below us and got to a 2-0 lead. We came back and drew it, but we'll have to do better in the away leg.
Campeonato Mato-Grossense Table
Another good month, although it tailed off at the end. I almost did February in two parts, but I will likely do March in two parts since there are just so many matches.
