Evaeverson Lemos da Silva (born 16 June 1980), commonly known as Brandão, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Greek club Levadiakos F.C. as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career with Shakhtar Donetsk, appearing in 220 official games and scoring 91 goals while winning seven major titles. He also played several years in France, notably with Marseille, where he conquered the 2010 national championship amongst other accolades.
Born in São Paulo, Brandão only played with modest clubs in his country initially. In 2002, he signed with Ukrainian Premier League side FC Shakhtar Donetsk from Iraty Sport Club, going on to be an offensive mainstay over the course of the following seasons.
In a team filled with compatriots, Brandão scored 39 goals combined in the three championships won by the club during that timeframe, notably topping the charts in the 2005–06 campaign at 15 goals.
On 13 January 2009, Brandão left for France with Olympique de Marseille, netting eight times in 30 games in his first full season as they won the Ligue 1 trophy after an 18-year wait. He was loaned twice in his early stint to two teams in his homeland, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense.
In January 2012, Brandão returned to L'OM, notably scoring in the 92nd minute of a 2–2 away draw against Inter Milan for the campaign's UEFA Champions League round-of-16 second leg, enabling his team to advance on the away goals rule and reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 1993. On 14 April he netted the game's only goal in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, against Olympique Lyonnais in extra time.
