Ganso had not directly contributed to a goal for the club since the thrashing over Aparecidense in the Copa do Brasil on May 21, when he scored once and provided an assist.

The performance against Bahia comes at a good time and boosts the midfielder's confidence for the final stretch of the season, especially in the decisive phase of the Copa do Brasil. Starting Thursday, Fluminense begins the clash against Vasco in the semifinal of the national competition.

The 2025 season was also marked by a serious physical problem for Ganso: he was sidelined for four months at the beginning of the year due to myocarditis. Now, he is trying to regain his place in the starting lineup and reestablish himself as an important part of the squad.
