Lucas shines, Calleri top foreign scorer: São Paulo’s Paulistão stars | OneFootball

The individual talents of São Paulo stood out in this round of the Paulistão. Lucas and Calleri, the scorers in the come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Primavera at Morumbi last Saturday (7th), delivered great performances.

This Tuesday (10th), the Paulistão’s social media announced that Lucas Moura was chosen as the Star Player of the 7th Round of the state championship, in a popular vote, with 52% of the preference. He had already been named the best player of the weekend match, and was also acclaimed by the AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR team as the standout on the field in the victory.

Meanwhile, the Argentine Calleri boasts another important achievement. According to data released by Paulistão, the Tricolor’s number 9 leads the ranking of top foreign scorers in the competition this century, with 23 goals.

The São Paulo striker is ahead of two compatriots, Flaco López of Palmeiras and Frontini, now retired, both with 21 goals scored on São Paulo’s pitches. Next comes the Chilean Valdivia, with 19, followed by former Corinthians strikers Guerrero and Romero, each with 15 goals.

After spending more than half of 2025 recovering from knee surgery, Calleri is showing improvement every day. He has played eight matches this season, scoring four goals, which already makes him the team’s top scorer at the start of 2026.

He has already surpassed, in fact, his goal tally from last season, when he found the net only three times in the 18 matches he played for the Tricolor.

Lucas Moura is another who is racing against time at São Paulo, after spending much of last year in the medical department. Always struggling with knee pain, the attacking midfielder celebrated his definitive return with a great performance in a packed Morumbi.

Now, Tricolor is making its final preparations for the next match, against Grêmio, once again at their stadium, this Wednesday (11th), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 3rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
