Tapia has scored over half his São Paulo goals in derbies | OneFootball

Gonzalo Tapia is one of the goal hopes for São Paulo fans this season. The Argentine joined the Tricolor last season and has been standing out for scoring in derbies. Of his seven goals for Hernán Crespo's team, four were against São Paulo rivals.

With seven goals in 28 games, Tapia found the net on five occasions last season, against Fluminense, Atlético-MG, Fortaleza, Palmeiras, and Corinthians, all in the Brazilian Championship.

This year, the reputation as a “nemesis” in São Paulo derbies continued. In the matches against Corinthians and Santos, both in the Paulistão, Tapia scored his two goals of the season.

In the six derbies he played, the Argentine scored four times, and his numbers are impressive: Tapia converted the two clear chances he had and needs 93 minutes to score. The data is from Sofascore.

It's not just him

Besides Tapia, São Paulo relies on Luciano to score goals in important games. Since joining the club in 2020, the forward has played 53 games against rivals and scored 13 goals.

The duo formed by Luciano and Tapia is responsible for five of the nine goals São Paulo has scored this season.
