Vegetti nears personal best: what milestone awaits the Vasco striker? | OneFootball

The forward Pablo Vegetti, who recently ended his goal drought by scoring against Bragantino, is close to reaching a significant personal milestone with Vasco. At 37 years old, the "Pirate" is just five goals away from making Cruz-Maltino the club for which he has scored the most goals in his entire career, a remarkable feat for a player who arrived in Brazil at an advanced age.

The hunt for Belgrano's record

Currently, the club for which Vegetti has scored the most is Belgrano, from Argentina, where the striker is an idol and scored 63 goals. With the recent goal, the forward reached 59 with the Vasco jersey. He needs four more to tie and five to surpass the mark, something that seemed unlikely when he was signed.

Despite being the top scorer in Brazil in 2025, with 26 goals, Vegetti is expected to face the bench in the next game. The trend is that, with Rayan's recovery from a thigh edema, the young "product" of Base Forte will regain the starting position in the attack against São Paulo on Sunday.

The top scorer of the Brazilian Championship

Besides the personal record, Vegetti has another important goal: to be the top scorer of the Brasileirão. Currently, he has 14 goals in the competition, just one less than the leaders Arrascaeta (Flamengo) and Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro), both with 15. It's worth remembering that the Argentine was already the top scorer of the Copa do Brasil for Vasco in 2024.
