The Palmeirense striker scored a brace against Corinthians
With two headers, both from midfielder Raphael Veiga’s cross, Rony was one of the stars of Thursday’s derby. After Corinthians opened the scoring with Róger Guedes, before ten minutes into the match, the number 10 of Palmeiras turned the score around, but Gil kept it all the same in the classic at the Neo Química Arena: 2 to 2.
Despite not winning, Rony has reasons not to forget the classic. With the two goals scored, the forward reached the threshold of 50 balls in the net for Alviverde, a feat previously achieved by only 60 athletes in the club’s entire history. The player now shares 60th position in the top scorer table with Djalminha.
Hired in 2020 from Athletico Paranaense, Rony has already played 169 games with the team led by manager Abel Ferreira, winning the Libertadores twice, a Brazilian championship, a Copa do Brasil, two Paulistas, a Recopa Sudamericana and a Supercopa do Brasil. Furthermore, he is the club’s fifth highest scorer this century.
