Gabigol netted another goal against Vasco last Sunday, and trust me, it was a big one: he hit 127 goals in Série A, rocketing him up to 8th on the all-time Brasileirão scoring list. Santos took the 3-0 win over Vasco at São Januário, and Gabigol’s goal marked his eighth in the current Brasileirão Betano campaign.
Joining the All-Time Greats
That 127th goal isn’t just a number; it puts Gabigol right alongside absolute legends like Serginho Chulapa and Dadá Maravilha in the history books. Think about that for a second! This guy, Santos’ No. 9, isn’t just having a moment. He’s making history, already standing as the active player with the most goals in the entire tournament. We’ve seen him do this before, too. He was the top scorer back in 2018 for Santos with 18 goals, and he even snagged championships with Flamengo in both 2019 and 2020. This dude knows how to find the back of the net.
The Chase for Even More History
The best part? There are still 16 rounds left in the competition! Gabigol has a prime chance to keep climbing this historic ladder. He’s only two goals shy of Túlio Maravilha, who sits at 129, and just three away from Diego Souza’s 130 goals. Can you imagine him passing those names? And get this: he’s even got a shot to tie or blow past Zico, who’s fifth overall with a staggering 135 goals. We’re watching a living legend write new chapters in real time.
What’s next for Gabigol? Another game, another chance to etch his name even higher in the Brasileirão record books. You know he’s going to be hunting for more, and we’ll be here to watch every single one of them.
