William Gomes nears Luis Díaz’s debut numbers, makes instant mark at Porto | OneFootball

William Gomes is approaching the numbers Luis Díaz posted in his first full season for FC Porto, in a start that deserves attention for its attacking output.

The forward has so far recorded 38 appearances, 12 goals and 2 assists in his first full season in blue and white. With at least 10 matches still to play before the end of the season, the Brazilian is in a position to surpass Luis Díaz’s numbers at the same stage of his Porto career.

In his first full season at FC Porto, the Colombian international finished with 50 appearances, 14 goals and 4 assists, in a campaign in which the Dragons won the league title and the Portuguese Cup. In the final of the competition, played on August 1, 2020, against Benfica, FC Porto won 2-1 at the Cidade de Coimbra Stadium.

The comparison shows a small gap in terms of goals: William Gomes is just two away from matching Luis Díaz, although he is still further behind in the number of assists. Even so, the competitive context of the current season leaves open the possibility of the attacker improving his numbers before the campaign ends.

The numbers underline William Gomes’ immediate impact on the Porto team and place him on a statistical path similar to that of a player who would later establish himself as one of the standout figures in the club’s recent history.
