Vasco starlet matches the captain, now eyes record held by club legend | OneFootball

The rise of forward Rayan at Vasco reached a new level of prominence this weekend. With the two goals he scored in the epic victory over Vitória, the 19-year-old not only decided the match, but also achieved impressive milestones that place him side by side with the team’s top scorer and very close to a record held by the club’s greatest idol, Roberto Dinamite.

Forward matches the striker in national competitions

With Sunday’s two goals, Rayan has reached 13 goals combining the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil in 2025. With this, he has equaled Pablo Vegetti as Vasco’s top scorer in national competitions this season.

This symbolic milestone represents a “passing of the baton,” establishing the homegrown player as the team’s main attacking reference.

The youngster now sets his sights on a historic Dinamite record

Rayan’s scoring streak in the Brasileirão has put him on a historic shelf. He has reached 9 goals in the current edition of the championship. The only player in Vasco’s history to score more goals in a single edition of the tournament at age 19 or younger was Roberto Dinamite, who scored 13 times in 1973.

With 11 rounds left in the competition, breaking a record that has lasted more than 50 years is a real possibility and excites everyone at the club. The information was highlighted by journalist André Garone.
