Luciano delivers again: five straight games, five decisive contributions for São Paulo | OneFootball

Luciano’s influence at São Paulo has been steady through the heart of the 2025 campaign, with the forward directly involved in five decisive moments in as many recent matches. His recent form has provided São Paulo with a significant attacking presence, reflected in both the numbers and the approach on the pitch.

In the 1-0 away victory against Juventude on July 25, Luciano scored the only goal of the match, converting one of his four shots. São Paulo managed to edge out the result in a contest marked by limited opportunities, and Luciano’s accuracy proved the difference. He also picked up a yellow card, underlining his all-action style.

Just days before, Luciano found the net twice in São Paulo’s 2-0 win over city rivals Corinthians. The match showcased his ability to capitalize on chances, with three shots resulting in a brace that secured the points. This follow-up from his earlier performance maintained São Paulo’s push near the top of the league.

Luciano’s role as both scorer and provider came to the fore in the 2-2 draw at RB Bragantino on July 17. Although he did not score, he set up two goals and registered four shots, keeping São Paulo in the match and directly contributing to the final result.

In the previous month’s fixture against Vasco da Gama, São Paulo fell 3-1 at home. Luciano was unable to add to his tally but remained active, attempting five shots and picking up another yellow card. Despite not impacting the scoreline, his involvement did not go unnoticed.

Across these last five matches, Luciano has been involved in three goals and two assists, creating or finishing key moments each time. He has also tallied 16 shots and received two yellow cards during this run. Over the 2025 season to date, his tally stands at three goals and two assists, with five decisive contributions, underlining the value he brings in high-leverage moments.

São Paulo’s attacking play continues to run through Luciano, whose blend of finishing and distribution is reflected in his continued influence on results. His presence remains a consistent factor as the club manages a demanding fixture schedule in the second half of the season.
