Vitor Roque is the second top scorer for Palmeiras this season and is experiencing his most prolific scoring streak since joining the club in February this year. The number 9 scored for the fourth consecutive game in the 3-2 defeat to Flamengo, in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Maracanã.
After Pedro opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro at 10 minutes into the first half, the Tigrinho scored the equalizing goal for Verdão at 24. However, shortly after, the home team scored two more, with Jorginho and Pedro, at 41 and 44 minutes, respectively, still in the first half. Gustavo Gómez, in the second half's injury time, closed the score.
In total, Vitor Roque has 17 goals scored this year, in 46 games played. He is only behind Flaco López, who found the net 23 times in 2025.
Vitor Roque celebrated at least one goal in the last four games for Palmeiras. With this, he is experiencing his most prolific scoring phase for the Alviverde. Before scoring against Flamengo, he netted against Vasco, São Paulo, and Red Bull Bragantino (twice). From this streak, Verdão won all three matches.
In this sequence, Verdão had a match against Juventude, in a delayed round of the Brasileirão. However, Vitor Roque served a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards and was absent.
His previous record was scoring in three consecutive games. The last streak was against Corinthians, Internacional (three times), and River Plate, the first two in the Brazilian Championship and the last in the first leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals. It was a draw against Timão and two victories over Colorado and the Argentinians.
Now, Vitor Roque wants to take advantage of his scoring phase to extend his record and help Palmeiras seek an advantage in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal against LDU. The match kicks off this Thursday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estadio Casa Blanca, in Ecuador.
With the goal against Flamengo, Vitor Roque reached his 13th goal in this edition of the Brazilian Championship, becoming a contender for the top scorer of the competition. The leaders of the ranking are Kaio Jorge, from Cruzeiro, and Arrascaeta, from Flamengo, with 15 goals each.
