Gustavo Gómez extends Palmeiras goal record for a centre-back | OneFootball

Gustavo Gómez continues to make history for Palmeiras. The captain has reached 48 goals for the club, extending his status as their record-scoring centre-back.

As reported by Nosso Palestra, the Paraguay international remains a constant threat from set pieces and penalties. The tally includes 25 in the Brasileiro, 15 in the Libertadores, and four each in the Copa do Brasil and the Paulista.

He has opened the scoring in each of Palmeiras’ past two games, at the Maracanã against Fluminense and in Paraguay against Cerro Porteño. Of that total, 11 have come from the spot and 37 from open play.

His season-by-season haul reads: 2018 three, 2019 five, 2020 six, 2021 three, 2022 11, 2023 six, 2024 three, 2025 six, 2026 five.

Beyond leadership and defensive output, Gómez has become an important attacking weapon for Abel Ferreira.
