Top scorer Flaco López aims to end goal drought as Palmeiras face Vitória | OneFootball

Flaco López is the top scorer for Palmeiras this season. The Argentine, however, is currently experiencing a goal drought in 2025 and has now gone seven games without scoring. He will try to find the back of the net again this Wednesday, when Verdão hosts Vitória at Allianz Parque, in a match brought forward from the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship.

In 2025, Flaco López is having his best season wearing the Palmeiras shirt. When he scored his last goal in the 5-1 thrashing of Red Bull Bragantino on October 15th, in the 28th round of the Brasileirão, he reached his 23rd goal, surpassing the 22 he scored in 2024, which had been his best mark until then.

On that occasion, he started on the bench and came on in the 33rd minute of the second half. Since then, he has played in seven of Palmeiras’ last eight games, six as a starter, but has not managed to score again. During this period, he provided one assist in the 2-0 win over Santos at Allianz Parque, in the 32nd round.

Before that, his longest goal drought was between June and July, during a stretch when Flaco López had not yet secured a starting spot alongside Vitor Roque. The Argentine broke his scoreless streak precisely against Vitória, when he scored the equalizer after Verdão had been trailing 2-0 at Barradão.

After that game, he scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 22 matches. In the Brasileirão alone, Flaco López has ten goals in 29 appearances.

Performance earned him two call-ups to the Argentine national team

Even with his goal drought, Flaco López remains an important player for Palmeiras. He was called up for the second time by the Argentine national team to play a friendly against Angola, which took place in Luanda last Friday.

Released after playing ten minutes in the match, he returned to Brazil on Saturday morning and started on the bench against Santos. He only came on in the second half of the match, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for Palmeiras.
