The goal scored by Gabigol in Santos’ 5-3 victory against Capivariano on Sunday in the Campeonato Paulista will stay in the memory of the attacker.
It was the 50th time the 19-year-old forward who came through the club’s prestigious youth system found the net as a professional player of Santos. Gabigol was promoted to the team’s professional squad in 2013, and the boy needed 141 matches to score 50 goals. During this period, he won a Paulistão title, and also became a starter in the team. He said: “It has always been my dream to play for Santos. As a child, I grew up supporting the club, along with my father. I managed to accomplish that goal, and to reach 50 goals is something wonderful. It is important to score, and a striker is always in search of goals. The priority is to help Santos in the best possible way. We have our goals this season, and I’m sure things will turn out the way we want.”
