Lucca reaches a historic milestone, solidifying his place as the 4th all-time leading scorer in 21st-century Campinas soccer by surpassing Renato Cajá in the regional rankings.
Forward Lucca, currently playing for Guarani, has reached a significant milestone in the recent history of Campinas soccer. With the goal scored in the victory over Inter de Limeira, the player reached 48 goals combined for clubs in the city, establishing himself as the fourth-highest scorer since 2001.
The survey, which accounts for players’ performances at both Guarani and Ponte Preta, highlights Lucca’s journey, as he surpassed former midfielder Renato Cajá. Although he achieved the majority of his tally at Ponte Preta, where he found the back of the net 45 times, the forward is now looking to increase his numbers and write a new, important chapter at Brinco de Ouro.
The giants of Campinas soccer
The list is led by players who became true icons in the region. Fumagalli sits at the top with 78 goals, followed closely by Roger with 73, and Washington, who rounds out the podium with 59. With 48 goals, Lucca has surpassed names such as Renato Cajá (45) and William Batoré (43), joining an elite group of historic goalscorers.
The player stated:
Thank God, everywhere I have been I have scored goals, but things were not happening the way I wanted. However, I never stopped training and believing. What is in my control is to work hard and hope that things get back on track.
Impact on Série C
This goal not only secured his spot in the rankings but also provided a boost for Lucca in his fight for a starting position. Under the command of manager Elio Sizenando, the number 9 is looking to maintain his good form to remain in the starting lineup for the final stretch of the first round of Série C.
Currently, Guarani sits in second place in the competition and returns to the pitch next Monday to face Anápolis away from home. The fans are hopeful that the veteran striker’s experience will be a decisive factor in keeping the club at the top of the table.
