Gabriel Barbosa has now scored 14 goals in the Copa do Brasil for Santos and surpassed Neymar as top scorer of the club in the competition.
Santos defeated rivals São Paulo 3-1 at the Morumbi stadium on Wednesday night in the Copa do Brasil semifinal first-leg and Gabigol opened the scoring with a sweet finish. Barcelona superstar Neymar, who won the tournament with Santos in 2010, had 13 goals to his name, but Gabigol has now surpassed him. Adding up the one goal from 2013 and six from 2014 to the seven goals he netted this year, Gabigol reached 14 goals in 20 matches, 16 as a starter. However, Neymar scored his 13 goals from 12 matches, averaging more than a goal per game. It was in the 2010 edition where the star stood out. In addition to being champion, he was also the top scorer with 11 goals.
