Club career
Born in Luanda, Angola, Edgar was a product of S.L. Benfica's youth system, making his debut with the first team at only 18 by playing 45 minutes in a 1–0 away win against F.C. Tirsense on 26 August 1995, and finishing his first season with 21 appearances and two goals. He was regularly used during his spell, but mainly from the bench, and also served a six-month loan at F.C. Alverca who acted as the feeder club, in the second division.
In the 1998 summer, Edgar was bought by Real Madrid, but never represented the La Liga club. He went on to spend the following eight years in the country, almost exclusively with Málaga CF; in the 2002–03 campaign he played for four months with Getafe CF on loan, in the second level.
With the Andalusians, Edgar was a heavily used attacking weapon: having partnered countrymen Duda and Litos for four and five seasons respectively, he eventually appeared in 218 games across all competitions, helping the side to top flight promotion in his first year.
Edgar then returned to Portugal for 2007–08, in a disastrous campaign with Boavista FC – seven matches for the player, Primeira Liga relegation for the club (due to irregularities). He quickly moved abroad again, signing with Cyprus' Alki Larnaca FC, being released after one sole season and retiring from football at age 31, after one year without a club.
International career
Edgar played for Portugal internationally. After earning nearly 30 caps for the under-21s he appeared once with the full side, against Mozambique on 19 August 1998.
Subsequently, Edgar had his application to represent Angola rejected in December 2004, because he had already represented one nation at senior level.
