Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Edvaldo Izidio Neto, commonly known as Vavá, was a Brazilian professional footballer who is widely considered to be one of the greatest strikers of his generation. Nicknamed "Peito de Aço", he most notably played for Vasco da Gama, Atlético Madrid, Palmeiras and the Brazil national team. — Wikipedia
