Vítor Manuel Carvalho Oliveira (born 15 March 2000), also known as Vitinha,[2] is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Braga.

Club career[]

Oliveira was born in Cabeceiras de Basto, Braga District.[2] In his first season as a senior, 2020–21, he scored nine goals in only 11 matches for Braga's reserves in the third division.[3]

On 18 January 2021, Oliveira signed a professional contract until 2024.[4] He made his Primeira Liga debut for the first team on 28 February, coming on as a late substitute for Abel Ruiz in a 2–1 away win against Nacional.[5]

Oliveira scored his first goal in the Portuguese top flight on 25 October 2021, the only in the fixture at Gil Vicente.[6] The following month, in the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal, he netted four times in a 6–0 home victory over Santa Clara; he completed his hat-trick in the first 15 minutes of the game.[7]

On 30 December 2021, Oliveira scored three goals in the first half of an eventual 6–0 away rout of Arouca.[8] The following 10 March, again after having replaced Ruiz, he closed the 2–0 home defeat of Monaco in the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League with an 89th-minute header.[9]
