Gustavo Gómez could equal Ademir da Guia’s record v Santos | OneFootball

Palmeiras hosts Santos this Thursday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, for the 32nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Besides the importance of the derby, the match could mark a special achievement for defender Gustavo Gómez.

If Verdão wins, the Paraguayan will reach Ademir da Guia in fourth place on the ranking of players with the most victories for Palmeiras in the Brasileirão. Gómez currently has 108 wins, one less than the “Divine One,” who has 109.

The top of the list is led by Weverton, with 136 victories, followed by Dudu with 133, and Emerson Leão with 112.

Other Records

The Verdão captain is also close to two other significant milestones. With 21 goals, he needs just one more to stand alone in seventh place among the highest-scoring defenders in the history of the Campeonato Brasileiro—a position he currently shares with former defender Juninho.

In addition, Gómez could match Gustavo Scarpa in seventh place among Palmeiras’ top scorers this century: the Paraguayan has 43 goals, while the midfielder, now at Atlético-MG, scored 44 for Verdão.
