Arnaldo Poffo Garcia (born 2 September 1940), better known as Peixinho, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as forward.
Career Even without winning titles, Peixinho entered the history of São Paulo by being the scorer of the first goal in history of Estádio do Morumbi, 2 August 1960, against Sporting CP. The feat was such that in Brazil, the expression "Gol de Peixinho" was created, where the player jumps to head the ball close to the field.
He is son of Peixe, the top scorer of 1940 Campeonato Paulista, which is also why he has the nickname "Peixinho" ().
