With the goal scored in Santos’ 3-0 win over Vasco last Sunday (16) at São Januário, forward Gabigol reached eight goals in the current edition of the Brasileirão Betano and hit the mark of 127 in Série A. As a result, he climbed to eighth place on the list of the competition’s top scorers since 1937, alongside legends Serginho Chulapa and Dadá Maravilha.
Top scorer of the 2018 Brasileirão for Santos with 18 goals, and champion with Flamengo in 2019 and 2020, Santos’ No. 9 is the active player with the most goals in the tournament. With 16 rounds left until the end of the competition, Gabigol has a great chance to climb even higher in the historic scoring rankings, as he is two goals behind Túlio Maravilha (129) and three behind Diego Souza (130). In addition, he could still tie or surpass Zico, who is fifth overall with 135 goals.
