The two goals scored in the match against Santa Rita de Ca\u0301ssia, in round 24 of the competition, brought the 30-year-old striker even closer to the numbers scored by Dala and Fla\u0301vio, the latter having retired from the pitch.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Gelson Dala, in the 2016 season for 1.\u00b0 de Agosto, finished the competition as the most accurate player in the opposition&#8217;s goal, having scored 23 goals in the season in question. Former top scorer Fla\u0301vio Amado, in 2001, with the Petroleos emblem, won the \u201cgolden boot\u201d by achieving the same record.<\/p>\n<p>With six rounds to go until the end of this edition of the Girabola, Kaporal has a clear chance of equalling and perhaps surpassing the 23 goals scored by Fla\u0301vio and Dala. The Wiliete striker surpassed the 20-goal record of Albert Meyong, formerly of Kabuscorp, in 2013, and Santana Carlos, for Petro de Luanda, in the 2008 season.<\/p>\n<p>However, the \u201ccrown\u201d of the top scorer in the history of the Girabola still belongs to Carlos Alves, former star of 1.\u00b0 de Agosto, when in 1980 he scored 29 goals, a record that remains unbroken. Since then, only three players have come close to equaling this figure: Amaral Aleixo, Fla\u0301vio Amado and Gelson Dala, with 23 goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Angola<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
