Vasco's quest for the 10th goal

Despite 2025 already being the best year in terms of contributions, one detail remains. Nuno Moreira is tied with last season in terms of goals (nine). The Portuguese player is just one goal away from making this his most prolific scoring season.

The forward will have at least five more games in the Brasileirão. Additionally, Vasco is competing in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. Therefore, the next goal by the number 17 will mark a historic personal record for the athlete.
