Rayan and Vegetti match historic milestone for Vasco | OneFootball

In a season marked by Vasco's inconsistency in the Brazilian Championship — with 18 defeats, the highest number in the club's history in the competition, and the risk of relegation until the penultimate round — one sector stood out positively: the attack. With 55 goals scored, the team is only behind Flamengo (75), Palmeiras (63), and Mirassol (60) among the best attacks in the tournament.

A large part of this offensive productivity comes from the feet (and the head) of Rayan and Vegetti. Each scored 14 times in the Brasileirão and ranks among the top scorers of the competition, only behind Kaio Jorge, Arrascaeta, and Vitor Roque. Together, they repeated a rare feat: since 2006, only another Vasco duo had surpassed the mark of 10 goals each in a single edition — Edmundo and Leandro Amaral, in 2008.

In that year, Edmundo scored 13 goals and Leandro Amaral scored 11. Despite the good phase of the forwards, the performance was not enough to avoid the club's first relegation.

Since then, the closest season to repeat this mark was in 2013, when André finished with 12 goals and Edmílson scored eight.

Vasco concludes its participation in the Brasileirão 2025 this Sunday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV.
