The Bola de Prata (Portuguese for Silver Ball) is a Primeira Liga award for the top scorer.
[1] In case two or more players have the same number of goals, the award goes to the footballer with the fewest games played.
[citation needed] It was first awarded as a prize in the 1952–53 season by sports newspaper A Bola.
Fernando Peyroteo recorded the highest goals-to-games ratio to win the award, 2.43, in 1937–38.
Eighteen players have won the award in more than one occasion, with Eusébio having the record with seven wins.
