Pedro goes top of the Brasileirão charts after stunner in Flamengo v Vasco | OneFootball

Flamengo striker Pedro has scored eight goals in the 2026 Brasileirão

The race for the top scorer title in the Brazilian Championship is still going full steam ahead in the 2026 season. After scoring a stunning goal against Vasco this Sunday (03), Pedro moved to the top of the national competition’s scoring chart.

By finding the net in the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’, the center forward reached eight goals and tied for the lead with Athletico-PR’s Kevin Viveros. Although he shares the spot, Pedro has maintained a consistency that keeps Flamengo’s attack going week after week.

The No. 9’s numbers are impressive: 11 direct goal contributions in just 13 matches played. In addition to his eight goals, Pedro has also provided three assists, showing a skill set that goes far beyond finishing. As a result, his current form cements Pedro as the most effective name in Flamengo’s attacking unit.

HAS PEDRO ALREADY SURPASSED 2025?

In addition to taking over as the top scorer in the Brasileirão, Pedro has reached 16 goals in 26 matches played in the 2026 season. The center forward is maintaining a high productivity rate, confirming his excellent physical and technical form since the start of the year. In this way, the No. 9 has already surpassed his own 2025 tally, when he dealt with injuries and performed below expectations.

The previous year, the striker ended the season with 15 goals in 39 matches. The comparison between the two periods highlights the player’s leap in efficiency, as he has surpassed last season’s numbers with 13 fewer games.
