Guilherme Capra Bacinello, commonly known as Cascavel (born 3 October 1986 in Guimarães), is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a striker.

Football career

A product of hometown Vitória de Guimarães's youth system, Cascavel made his senior debut with G.D. União Torcatense in the third division, on loan. During his spell at the neighbouring side, he was involved in a lawsuit concerning the acquisition of his Portuguese nationality, after his alleged irregular use in three matches.[1] His team was relegated at the end of the season after ranking last, and his parent club also released him,[2] with the player going on to resume his career in the same category.

In the 2007–08 campaign Cascavel signed with C.D. Trofense in the second level, appearing rarely (only six official games) as the club achieved a first-ever top flight promotion. In January 2008, he returned to division three and joined Moreirense F.C. on loan.[3]

On 3 August 2009, after already having served a loan spell with the club, Cascavel signed for S.C. Freamunde on a permanent basis.[4] He ranked fourth in the goalscoring charts as his team narrowly escaped second division relegation.

For the 2010–11 season, Cascavel continued in level two, signing a one-year contract with F.C. Penafiel.[5] In June 2011 he moved to Cyprus with AEP Paphos F.C. but, on 10 January of the following year, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Personal life

Cascavel's father, Paulo Roberto, also nicknamed Cascavel, was also a footballer – and a striker. He too played several seasons in Portugal, most notably with Guimarães and Sporting Clube de Portugal, being crowned the top division's top scorer twice, one with each club.[6]
