Fernando Silva (5 January 1948 – 5 June 2021) was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a defender.

Career[edit]

Having started his career at CA Juventus, Fernando Silva made history by committing the penalty on Pelé, which resulted in what would be considered his 1000th goal, on 10 November 1969, at Estádio do Maracanã. Fernando stated until the end of his life that the penalty did not occur, being an arbitrary decision by referee Manoel Amaro de Lima.[1]

Later, Fernando played for Bangu, Olaria, until moving to football in Bahia, where he was state champion for Vitória in 1972,[2] and for EC Bahia in 1975.[3] He also played for Fluminense de Feira and Leônico, where he ended his career after suffering a fractured face.[4][5]
