Gabigol nears Ricardo Oliveira in Santos’ 21st-century scorers | OneFootball

With two goals against Mirassol, Gabigol moved closer to Ricardo Oliveira on the list of Santos' top scorers in the 21st century. The former Flamengo striker reached 90 goals for Peixe and is now just two goals behind the former player.

This year, Gabigol had already surpassed Kléber Pereira, who scored 86 times wearing the Santos jersey. The top three positions are occupied by Neymar (149 goals), Robinho (111 goals), and Ricardo Oliveira (92 goals).

In other words, Gabigol has a great chance of entering the top 3 by 2026, needing to score just three goals to surpass Ricardo Oliveira.

This season, Gabigol has played 10 games for Santos and scored six goals, four in the Campeonato Paulista and two in the Brasileirão. Additionally, he has also provided two assists.
