Sebastião Marcos Barbosa de Oliveira (born 21 July 1976 in Siqueira Campos, Paraná), known as Marcos, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for S.C. Braga in Portugal, as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Marcos started his career with local Paraná Clube, appearing regularly during seven years. In the 2002 summer, he moved abroad, joining Portugal's C.S. Marítimo; a starter from his beginnings, he made his Portuguese League debut in a 0–1 loss against Vitória de Setúbal, and drew comparisons to compatriot Everton Machado, who played in the island of Madeira from 1988–96 with great success.

In 2004–05, as Marítimo finished 7th with one of the strongest defensive records, Marcos was named Goalkeeper of the Year in the country. He continued to be the undisputed starter until his departure in 2009, at 33.

In July 2010, after one year without a club, Marcos returned to Portugal and signed with Sporting de Braga, as the club had lost Eduardo and Paweł Kieszek in the off-season.
