Vasco starlet breaks Roberto Dinamite's record, scoops national award | OneFootball

Vasco will have a heavyweight representative at the closing ceremony of the Brazilian Championship. The excellent season of one of the “Crias da Colina” has been recognized nationwide. In a vote conducted with journalists, captains, and coaches from all Série A clubs, the young star Rayan was elected the Revelation of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.

The trophy presentation already has a set date: it will take place on November 18th, at the official CBF ceremony. The award crowns a year of affirmation for the forward, who became a key piece in Fernando Diniz’s tactical scheme and took on the offensive leadership of the team in crucial moments of the season.

The fall of a 52-year-old record

More than just a contemporary award, Rayan achieved a historic feat that once seemed unattainable. The young striker surpassed none other than Roberto Dinamite. With his goals in the current championship, he became the Under-19 Vasco player with the most goals in a single edition of the Brasileirão.

The previous record belonged to the Greatest of All since 1973. Back then, the young Dinamite found the net 13 times in 32 matches. Rayan, showing an impressive goal-scoring instinct, already has 14 goals in 33 rounds, rewriting the club’s history after more than five decades and placing his name alongside the greatest legends of São Januário.

At the top of the national scoring charts

Rayan’s numbers place him among the elite of Brazilian football. With 14 goals, he is the fourth top scorer in the competition, tied with his attacking partner, Pablo Vegetti. He is chasing established names such as Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro, 21 goals), Arrascaeta (Flamengo, 18), and Vitor Roque (Palmeiras, 16).

Vasco’s next match is this Tuesday (02), against Mirassol, at São Januário. It will be another opportunity for the fans to celebrate the new gem and for Rayan to try to increase his numbers before receiving the well-deserved crown as the country’s revelation.
