Gustavo Henrique celebrates goal and win on Corinthians debut | OneFootball

Corinthians defeated Ponte Preta 3-0 this Sunday at the Neo Química Arena, kicking off the 2026 Campeonato Paulista on the right foot. Scorer of one of the goals, defender Gustavo Henrique celebrated his goal and Timão’s victory.

“I’m happy. It’s a play we work on a lot, because of my height, and the height of my teammates. We have to keep working hard so we can help in the offensive sector. I’m happy for the goal and the win. It’s important for us to rack up as many points as possible to have an advantage later on,” said the player in an interview with TNT Sports.

Gustavo Henrique also praised André Ramalho’s goal at the end of the match. The defender took a shot from far out and hit the corner, leaving goalkeeper Diogo Silva with no chance.

“I’m happy for him [André Ramalho], he’s a guy who works really hard. He was lucky with the shot. That ball is drier, we really need to take more risks. He was lucky with the shot and I’m happy for that,” he said.
