Palmeiras captain Gustavo Gómez has reached a significant milestone, securing his 116th victory while playing at home for the Brazilian club. This achievement came during Palmeiras' commanding 4-1 win over Vasco da Gama in the Brasileirão league.

Gómez, known for his competitive drive and leadership, is now setting his sights on Marcos Aurélio Galeano, who holds 117 home wins, a mark Gómez is poised to break soon.
At the pinnacle of this prestigious list stands Dudu, with an absolute record of 144 home victories.

Gómez's consistent performance, marked by his commitment, leadership, and defensive solidity, has cemented his place in Palmeiras' history. He continues to break records match after match in the competitive Brazilian football league, demonstrating his enduring impact on the club.
