Decisive Guilherme leads Santos’ attack in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

Guilherme was decisive in yet another victory for Santos in the Brazilian Championship. The number 11 of Santos scored the only goal of the match that ended 1-0 against São Paulo, in the 24th round of the competition, at Vila Belmiro. With the goal in Baixada Santista, the striker topped a Santos offensive statistic in the tournament: goal involvement.

After scoring against Tricolor Paulista, Guilherme reached his sixth goal involvement in this edition of the Brasileirão, a unique feat among the players of the Santos squad. In addition to being the second top scorer of Santos with four goals, the striker also contributed with two assists.

Behind the number 11, players like Barreal, who scored five goals without any assist, and Tiquinho, who scored three times and provided two assists, appear. Neymar, on the other hand, scored three goals and is still looking for his first assist.

‘Guilherme-dependency’?

Despite criticism from the fans, Guilherme has been a key piece for Santos in the Brasileirão. Of the seven victories of the club in the Serie A in 2025, the striker participated in five, either scoring goals or providing assists, including decisive matches against Vitória, Fortaleza, Flamengo, Cruzeiro, and São Paulo.

In the tournament, Guilherme has four goals and two assists, being the second top scorer of Santos, only behind Barreal. In the season as a whole, he is the team's top scorer, with 14 goals, seven more than Tiquinho Soares, second in the ranking.

Despite the season of highs and lows, marked by criticism and demands after defeats, Guilherme gained confidence with the arrival of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who already knew him from Fortaleza. The coach kept the striker in the squad, highlighting his importance to the team and reinforcing the need for support during difficult times.
