Cruzeiro midfielder and Brazil international Ramires (pictured) has captured the top spot in the Top 23 of Brazilian Serie A midfielders.

Ramires earned the amount of rating points necessary to overtake Atletico Mineiro’s Marcio Araujo (81.5 points) in the Confederations Cup semi-final when Brazil narrowly beat hosts South Africa 1:0. Ramires now has 93.17 points over all.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who is quietly cementing a place for himself in the Brazil squad, has collected 57 rating points in his last three appearances for his country. His plank to beat in today’s final against the U.S. is just 2 rating points.

A win for Brazil today will power Ramires into the Top 23 of Brazilian players, whose lower threshold is at 100.47 points.
