Centro Sportivo Alagoano, commonly referred to as CSA, is a Brazilian professional football club based in Maceió, Alagoas.

[3] On 7 September 1913, the same day as the anniversary of the Brazilian Independence from Portugal, the club was founded as Centro Sportivo Sete de Setembro.

Eventually, Vitória, Bahia, and Sport Recife (respectively the winner, the runner-up and the third placed teams in Campeonato do Nordeste) declined successively to dispute Copa CONMEBOL, so CSA was invited to the competition.

Currently, the Centro Sportivo Alagoano started to play their matches in Estádio Rei Pelé Trapichão (property of the state government) and transformed the Mutange into a training center.

The Pajuçara club accepted the challenge, but in "Oficio-respuesta" requested permission to include in its team some former players, since the game was friendly.

When he became acquainted in the chronicles, from a direct phrase of the blue president, Ismael Acioli judged and decided to take personal satisfaction.

Warned by friends of the "Correio da Afarde" of the intentions of Ismael Acioli, Osório Gatto tried to prevent himself, armed with a revolver.

Only years later, the two sportsmen, in a fortuitous encounter, finally embraced with commotion, from the time of the two clubs are eternal rivals.

To attend his birthday party, the Blues invited America's time from Recife to a friendly game.

With an intention to strengthen a team, Tininho invited two players from the CRB to join CSA in the game against America.

On September 7, no Mutange, before the game, attended the locker room of the CSA, the players Zequito and Fonseca who were received by Tininho.

Pressed on all sides, Tininho showed why he was a leader, and decided - "Either they accept Zequito and Fonseca or I will not play either."

But because of the Azulino captain who took full responsibility, the two CRB players played and helped the CSA beat America by 4x2.

It was commented at the time that leaders and players of the Azulino club made a pact to make as many goals as possible within the game.

Zé Rodrigues, who had problems in the formation of his team, was forced to put in the field four athletes who had played in the preliminary match: Orlando, Foot of Samba, Mudico and Laurinho.

Xaxado is the name of a musical rhythm of northeastern Brazil and, at the time, it was a song of the moment of the stops of success.

A great performance by the team made a blue crowd cheer and shout, rhythmically, a word "xaxado".
