Palmeiras striker named best player in September for the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Vitor Roque, from Palmeiras, was chosen as the best player of the Brazilian Championship in September. The award was announced on the competition’s social media channels on the afternoon of Wednesday (8).

The number 7 played three matches for Verdão in the tournament during this period: victories over Internacional and Fortaleza, and a loss against Bahia. He scored three goals—all in the win over the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Vitor Roque’s football has been enhanced by the tactical changes made by Abel Ferreira and his partnership with Flaco López. In 2025, he has already surpassed the number of goal involvements from his time in European football, even with fewer matches played.

In the victory against São Paulo last weekend, the number 9 reached 18 direct goal involvements—14 goals and four assists in 44 matches—compared to nine goals for Betis and Barcelona without any assists, in 49 matches. Now, he wants to surpass his most prolific year: 2023, with 21 goals.

The Brazilian Championship standings have Palmeiras in first place with 55 points. With the same number of points as Flamengo, the green-and-white team leads due to the number of victories. Cruzeiro is in third place with 52 points. In fourth is Botafogo with 43.

Palmeiras returns to the field against Juventude on Saturday (11), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.
