A dry shot, with a slight deflection, that rose and fell in a way that defied physics to shake the net and tie a tough game. That's how Guerrero shook the net again, this Sunday (26), against Cruzeiro. And the goal wasn't just worth the draw - that would become a heroic turn: with the goal, the number nine regained the top scorer position for the red-black squad in the Brasileirão and in the season.

After the victory, in a conversation with FlaTV, the striker expressed his happiness with his strong performance despite not having played every game due to call-ups and injuries. He spoke about the moment he scored and the effusiveness of his celebration.

"It was a really cool moment! We were trying really hard in the first half, and unfortunately we conceded the first goal, which threw us off a bit. We were tired, we started strong, but I managed to score the equalizer. The emotion of making it 1-1 was really rewarding. Not just for me. For all of us, for the fans. Fortunately, we didn't give up and managed to turn the game around," he analyzed.

In the Brasileirão, right behind Guerrero are Felipe Vizeu and Alan Patrick, with four goals each. This season, Marcelo Cirino is hot on the heels of the Peruvian with 12 goals, followed by Vizeu, Alan, and Arão, with seven each.
