Éderzito António Macedo Lopes (born 22 December 1987), commonly known as Éder, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Braga as a forward.

Club career

Early years / Académica

Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Éder moved to Portugal in his teens, and started playing football with Associação Desportiva e Cultural da Adémia in the Coimbra District, aged 12.[1] He made his senior debuts with F.C. Oliveira do Hospital and G.D. Tourizense, the latter in the third division and the farm team of Académica de Coimbra.[2]

Éder made his top level debut for Académica on 24 August 2008, in a 0–1 away loss against C.F. Estrela da Amadora.[3] He scored his first goal for the club at the end of the season, netting the Students equalizing goal in an eventual 3–1 victory over Associação Naval 1º de Maio.[4]

On 2 May 2010 Éder scored what looked like a winning goal against C.D. Nacional, but the visitors eventually drew it 3–3 in the 90th minute.[5] On 12 September of the following year, against the same opponent and also in Coimbra, he bagged a brace in a 4–0 routing,[6] finishing the season with five goals in 16 appearances; he also helped the club win its first Portuguese Cup since 1939 by defeating Sporting Clube de Portugal in the final,[7] but he only featured in the earlier rounds, as he was suspended by his employers for not reporting to training for several weeks, as interest in acquiring his services arose.[8][9][10]

Braga

In the 2012 summer, Éder signed with S.C. Braga for four years. He made his official debut for his new team on 2 September in a 0–2 loss at F.C. Paços de Ferreira[11] but scored twice late into that month as the Minho Province side defeated Rio Ave F.C. 4–1 at home,[12] contributing with one in a 4–4 home draw with S.C. Olhanense.[13]

On 30 November 2012, in the fifth round of the Taça de Portugal, Éder netted the winning goal as Braga defeated national giants F.C. Porto 2–1, booking a place in the quarter-finals.[14] On 6 January 2013, in a league match against Moreirense FC, he scored the game's only goal shortly after the restart;[15] on 23 February he netted in each half of the local derby against Vitória de Guimarães, in a 3–2 win at the Estádio Municipal de Braga,[16] but missed the rest of the campaign after suffering a ligament tear in early March.[17]

International career

Éder chose to represent Portugal internationally. After impressive club performances for Braga, he was first called up by the national team in August 2012 for a match against Luxembourg for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, but remained an unused substitute in the 2–1 away win on 7 September.[18] He made his debut four days later in the same competition, replacing Hélder Postiga in the dying minutes of a 3–0 home win over Azerbaijan.[19]

On 19 May 2014, Éder was named in the final 23-man squad for the tournament in Brazil.[20] He made his debut in the competition on 16 June, replacing injured Hugo Almeida in the first half of a 0–4 group stage loss to Germany.[21]
