During the 1997 Brazilian title campaign

During the 1997 Brazilian title campaign, Vasco beat União São João 6-0 in São Januário. Edmundo scored all the goals of the match. If there is a “curse of the centenary”, it was not even close to Vasco: in 1998, when it completed 100 years, the club was champion of Rio de Janeiro and Libertadores. In addition, he saw rival Fluminense relegated to Série C of the Brazilian Championship. Vasco is the greatest scorer in the history of the Brazilian championship: of the 190 goals scored by Roberto Dinamite in the tournament, 181 were for the club – the other nine were for Portuguesa .
