On September 11, 1997, striker Edmundo, then at Vasco, made history in the Brazilian Championship. In the 6-0 thrashing against União São João de Araras, at São Januário, he scored all six goals of the match — a very rare feat in Brazilian football.

This game entered the memory of Vasco fans and consolidated "Animal" as one of the club's greatest idols. That same year, Vasco would win the 1997 Brasileirão, with Edmundo being the top scorer with 29 goals.
