After scoring twice in Athletico-PR’s 3-2 win over Botafogo on Monday (24), in the closing match of the 24th round, striker Viveros once again took over as the top scorer of the Brasileirão Betano. Furacão’s number 9 now has 16 goals, one more than Flamengo’s Pedro, who also scored this round in the 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro at Mineirão.

In the history of the Brasileirão in the round-robin era, since 2003, the foreign player with the most goals in a single edition is Argentine Germán Cano, who scored 26 goals for Fluminense, his current club, in 2022. That tally is also the highest since 2006, when the Brasileirão began featuring 20 clubs. Since 2003, the overall record still belongs to former striker Washington, who scored 34 goals for Athletico-PR in 2004.

With 16 goals, Colombian Viveros has now moved up to 9th place among the players with the most goals in a single edition of the round-robin Brasileirão. Since 2006, he already has the sixth-best tally. With 14 more rounds still to come, Furacão’s number 9 still has a chance to climb even higher on this list.
