Born in Mozambique, Pegado joined Benfica in 1954 and made his debut on 13 February 1955, against CUF.[1] He faced strong competition from Alfredo Abrantes, Francisco Palmeiro and Mário Coluna, so that game was his sole appearance in a league-winning campaign of 1954–55.[2][3]
After another season in the background; in 1956–57 he assumed a starting role alongside Serra and Alfredo Abrantes, playing 27 matches and scoring five times, winning his second league title.[4][5] Pegado remained an important player in the following year, making 24 appearances in all competitions, in what was his last season at Benfica.[6]
