São Paulo, Brazil – 17-year-old rising star Estevao has made headlines in the Brazilian Serie A by breaking the record for most assists by a U17 player in the league’s history. The talented youngster played a key role in Palmeiras‘ 5-3 win over Juventude at the weekend, scoring a goal and providing an assist to help his team move to within a single point of the top spot in the league table.
Estevao’s impressive form has been a major factor in Palmeiras‘ recent rise up the table, with the team collecting 60 points from 30 matches to date. The 17-year-old has already contributed 10 goals and 8 assists this season, a feat that sees him surpass the previous record held by none other than Brazilian legend Neymar Jr.
