Club career
Born in Taubaté, São Paulo, Pascoal began his career with Guarulhos in the 2011 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, scoring a goal in a 5–2 away win over União Suzano on 14 May of that year.[1] He subsequently represented ECUS and União Mogi in the same division before moving to Red Bull Brasil for the 2015 season.
Pascoal played the 2015 Copa Paulista with São José-SP, playing one match as a forward.[2] He only became an undisputed starter with Atibaia in the 2016 Campeonato Paulista Série A3, and moved to Série B side Bragantino in June of that year.
On 9 November 2017, Pascoal agreed to a contract with São Bernardo.[3] A backup to Daniel during the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Série A2, he became a starter in the year's Copa Paulista.
On 4 January 2019, Pascoal joined Portuguesa.[4] He signed for Imperatriz on 18 December,[5] but moved to Linense on 6 March 2020, after just three matches.[6]
On 17 July 2020, Pascoal was announced at Boa Esporte.[7] He started the 2021 campaign at Rio Claro, before joining Joinville on 21 May of that year.[8]
In January 2022, Pascoal moved to Botafogo-SP.[9] A backup option in the club's promotion to the second division, he signed for Pouso Alegre on 5 April 2023.[10]
Released from Pousão on 26 July 2023,[11] Pascoal returned to Lusa a day later.[12] A backup to Thomazella in the 2024 campaign, he became a starter in the Copa Paulista, before being demoted to third-choice behind new signings Rafael Santos and Bruno Bertinato in the 2025 season.
On 28 March 2025, Pascoal agreed to join Confiança on loan until the end of the year,[13] but the deal later collapsed as he did not feature in any state league matches during the year.[14] On 22 August, he joined São Bento on loan for the Copa Paulista.[15]
On 2 December 2025, Pascoal moved permanently to Confiança for the upcoming season.[16]
