The 28th round of the 2025 Brasileirão featured plenty of individual brilliance and rewarded decisive players in different areas of the pitch. The biggest highlight was forward Vitor Roque, of Palmeiras, who scored two goals in the rout over Red Bull Bragantino and was chosen as the best of the round with a 9.3 rating on SofaScore, a statistics-focused portal. Another standout was goalkeeper Léo Jardim, of Vasco, who secured the win against Fortaleza with impressive saves and the same 9.3 rating, earning the “wall” title of the weekend.
In attack, Pedro (Flamengo) posted a 8.4 rating, proving decisive in finishing, while Álvaro Barreal and Lucas Lima — from Santos and Sport, respectively — were rewarded for creativity and intensity in midfield.
Zé Rafael, also from Santos, completed the central trio with a dominant performance (rating 8.3), dictating the tempo in the derby against Corinthians.
In defense, veterans Thiago Silva (Fluminense) and Reinaldo (Mirassol) stood out with solid, efficient performances, both with a rating above 8.0, alongside Ruan of Atlético-MG.
Douglas Borges, also from the team from the São Paulo countryside, rounded out the backline with a 8.0 rating, providing solidity on the right side.
