Éder Aleixo de Assis (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɛdɛʁ]; born 25 May 1957) is a Brazilian former footballer.
He played as a left winger, and as a forward, most notably with Atlético Mineiro in the Campeonato Brasileiro and with the Brazil national team. He also played for Palmeiras and Grêmio, among other teams. A few years later, he transferred to Turkey, where he played for Malatyaspor during 1988–89 season, along with Carlos and Serginho.
Éder Aleixo gained 52 caps with the Brazil national team between May 1979 and April 1986, and came to international prominence during the 1982 FIFA World Cup while playing alongside Zico, Sócrates and Falcão in what's considered one of the greatest international football teams ever. In Brazil's first match of the tournament Eder scored a winning goal against the Soviet Union, flicking the ball up and volleying it into the net with blistering power and precision from 25 yards out. He followed that up with another goal in the 4–1 win over Scotland when, after feigning to shoot, he lofted the ball over Scotland's frozen goalie Alan Rough and into the far corner from the edge of the area. He smashed a bending free kick against the crossbar vs Argentina in the 2nd round group game from 30 yards out, and this shot resulted in the first goal of the match scored by Zico.
