Raphael Veiga surpasses Evair in Copa do Brasil record for Palmeiras | OneFootball

Raphael Veiga has reached yet another historic milestone wearing the Palmeiras jersey. With the goal he scored recently at Allianz Parque, the midfielder surpassed Evair and equaled Romeu Pellicciari, moving into 4th place among the players who have scored the most goals for Verdão when combining the old Palestra Italia stadium with the current Allianz Parque, with a total of 55 goals.

The historic ranking is led by Heitor, with an impressive 183 goals, followed by Caetano Imparato with 72, and Luizinho with 62. Veiga now shares fourth place with Pellicciari, leaving Evair just behind, with 54 goals scored at the venue.

This achievement cements Veiga as a key player in the squad led by Abel Ferreira. At just 30 years old, the midfielder still has the potential to climb even higher in the historic ranking and get closer to the great names who have made history at the club. He is Palmeiras’ top scorer of the century, with 107 goals scored.
