Puma Rodríguez moves clear as Vasco’s top-scoring foreign defender | OneFootball

Puma Rodríguez etched his name into Vasco history on Thursday, his goal against Vitória making him the club’s leading foreign goalscoring defender.

The right-back converted from inside the box at 51 minutes of the second half. According to Globo.com, he now holds the mark outright after previously sharing it.

Wearing the number two shirt, the Uruguayan moved past Sebastián Beracochea, a Carioca champion and starter in the famed Expresso da Vitória side of the 1940s, who has 14 goals.

Vasco list 16 goals for Puma Rodríguez because they include friendlies in their tally. In official competition the total stands at 15.

Behind him are Beracochea on 14, Figliola 11, Dacunto four and Rafanelli three.
