[7]

In September 2021, Rafaelson was transferred to Topenland Bình Định. [8] On 3 September 2022, he scored his first hattrick in V.League 1 in to help his team defeat the league's leading team Hanoi FC 3–0.

[12] On 26 May 2024, he scored five goals in a 5–2 victory of Thép Xanh Nam Định FC against Đông Á Thanh Hóa, which tied the record for most goals scored by a single player in a single game in V.League 1 with Hoàng Anh Gia Lai's Nguyễn Đình Việt back in 2007. On 25 June 2023, Rafaelson netted a hattrick in a 5–1 league win against Khánh Hòa, thus securing the first national league title for Nam Định since 1985.
