Brazilian forward Anderson Lopes, 31, is currently experiencing a career-high in goal-scoring form with Yokohama Marinos in Japan. Over the past year, he’s tallied 34 goals, ranking him as the second-highest-scoring Brazilian worldwide during that period, according to Bolavip.
Lopes’ career began at Internacional in 2008 as a youth player. He was brought to the club by Walter, a childhood friend and former Copa Libertadores-winning striker for Internacional. Despite early potential, Lopes never secured a spot in the senior team and subsequently pursued opportunities elsewhere.
His career took off in the Japanese league, where his sharp finishing and attacking presence have made him a key player. This consistent goal-scoring record with Yokohama Marinos has garnered significant attention, particularly given the league’s competitive nature.
In related news, Internacional recently won the 2025 Campeonato Gaúcho title undefeated. Under coach Roger Machado, they defeated rivals Grêmio 1–0 in the second leg of the final, securing the championship following a 2–0 victory in the first leg.
