The likes of Pele, Zico, Bebeto, Luis Fabiano and Adriano have all scooped the Brazilian Serie A top goalscorer award over the years, making it an accolade held by some of the finest finishers world football has ever seen.
The current ‘Golden Boot’ holder is a name many of us will be familiar with, and not just because of the Marvel Comics franchise. Hulk bagged 19 Serie A goals last season as Atletico Mineiro ended their 50-year way for title glory, lifting the Brazilian top-flight trophy for only the second time.
And the veteran sharp-shooter once again finds himself tussling it out for the top scorer award in 2022 as Atletico Mineiro seek to retain their crown. Other names currently leading the charge in these opening stages are West Ham flop and now Sao Paulo star Jonathan Calleri and Santos’ latest teenage wonderkid Marcos Leonardo.
Keep track below to see how the 2022 Brazilian Serie A scoring charts change throughout the season.
