Gre-Nal strikers battle for Brazil’s top scorer spot in 2026 | OneFootball

The forwards Rafael Borré, from Internacional, and Carlos Vinícius, from Grêmio, started the season competing for the title of top scorer in Brazil in 2026, counting only athletes who play in the Série A of the Brasileirão.

This Wednesday, Borré scored Internacional's goal in the 1-1 draw with Flamengo at Maracanã. With this goal, the Colombian temporarily took the lead as Brazil's top scorer, with five goals scored in 2026.

However, a few hours later, Carlos Vinícius shone and climbed to the top of the ranking. The Grêmio forward scored a hat-trick against Botafogo and took the first position with seven balls in the net this year.

Carlos Vinícius, on the other hand, joined Grêmio last year and already shone, with 12 goals in 14 matches. The forward maintained his level in 2026 and currently has seven goals in eight games.
