Top 🔟 Brazilian football scorers dominated by players in their thirties | OneFootball

The race for the top scorer position in Brazilian football in 2025 is comfortably led by Pablo Vegetti.

The Vasco striker boasts 24 goals. That's five more than Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro. Closing the Top-3 is the tricolor Germán Cano, with 18.

The highlight among the top ten scorers is the "experience" factor.

Half of them are at least 36 years old.

The aforementioned Kaio Jorge and Flaco López are the two who are 24 years old or younger.

Hulk - Atlético-MG - 16 goals

The number 7 and idol of Galo is not going through a great phase. He scored only once in the last ten matches. The fans hope for his (and Atlético's) reaction.

Achieved in 37 matches. He is 37 years old.

Achieved after 30 matches. He is 30 years old.

He was the great asset of São José-RS in the season. Zequinha advanced in Série D but fell in the first knockout round.

He scored nine times in the competition.

And will have the chance to climb the ranking, as he is likely to reinforce Caxias for the final stretch of Série C. He belongs to Maringá.

Flaco López - Palmeiras - 17 goals

He has played 44 matches this season. He is the second youngest on the list: 24 years old.

The good phase earned him his first call-up to Argentina's main team.

Tiago Marques - CSA - 17 goals

After playing 39 times. Another one who is 37 years old.

He had already stood out with Azulão do Mutange in 2024 (with 18 goals). He maintained the average but couldn't prevent the surprising drop to Série D.
