São Paulo attack falters since André Silva injury, see stats | OneFootball

Since André Silva's injury, São Paulo has seen its offensive production drop. The team, which had solid numbers in the attack sector, could not maintain the same pace without their top scorer.

With the striker on the field, the team scored 60 goals in 43 matches in 2025, an average of 1.39 goals per game and a 58% success rate in victories. Without him, after the injury, the numbers dropped: only three goals in seven games, an average of 0.42 per match, in addition to five losses - which culminated in Tricolor's elimination from the Libertadores - and only two victories.

André Silva's absence is felt even more because the player was having the best season of his career. He had already accumulated 18 goal involvements, with 14 goals and four assists, being São Paulo's top scorer of the year and talisman: when he was involved in a goal in the year, the club did not lose.

In addition, he led the team's statistics ranking and was second in assists, tied with Calleri (4) and only behind Luciano (7).

The striker was also decisive in the three main competitions played so far, finishing as the team's top scorer in the Paulista Championship, in the Libertadores and in the Brazilian Championship. Since he arrived at Morumbi, André Silva has played 86 games, scored 22 goals and provided seven assists, accumulating 29 direct goal involvements.

São Paulo's Situation

The Tricolor Paulista won 2-0 last Thursday against Fortaleza, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result achieved by São Paulo, currently in seventh place with 38 points, also ended a streak of four losses, two of which resulted in the elimination to LDU in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

São Paulo returns to the field next Sunday, when they host Palmeiras, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Morumbi, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.
