Estêvão sets incredible record for Brazil, breaks 60-year mark 💎

A new star is emerging in Brazilian football, and his name is Estêvão.

At just 17 years old, the young forward has not only drawn attention but also achieved historic feats while wearing the Brazilian National Team jersey.

Estêvão scored a goal against Senegal and has now reached FOUR goals for the national team—including friendlies.

The achievement itself is already remarkable, but what truly makes it special is the weight of historical comparison.

Estêvão is the first player aged 18 or younger to reach four goals for the National Team since the 1960s.

The last to accomplish such a feat was none other than Coutinho, the legendary partner of Pelé at Santos. Coutinho’s historic record was FIVE goals in 10 matches played for the National Team.

Estêvão’s performance for the national team follows the same promising trajectory. He also reached his four goals in 10 matches.

This reclaiming of a record that had stood for over six decades is not just a statistical achievement.

It symbolizes the hope and potential that the new generation of Brazilian athletes carries, with Estêvão standing out as one of its greatest exponents.
