The forward Paulo Sérgio went viral in the classic match between Náutico and Santa Cruz, held this Sunday (22), by celebrating his first goal in the game with... a doll and a baby bottle!
Yes, that's right! The objects were thrown from the stands by a Náutico fan, a scene that ended up going viral on social media.
'Father of Santa Cruz' 😅
In a post-game interview with SportTV, the player explained that the celebration had been pre-arranged with a friend.
“I said: 'Hey, don't forget to bring a doll because there's going to be a goal today.' And his son and wife brought it," the athlete recounted, who was filmed returning the items to his friend right after the celebration.
The joke is directly linked to the striker's history (known as PS9) against the tricolor team, leading him to call himself the "Father of Santa Cruz."
In five classic matches played in his career against the rival, the forward achieved five victories and scored five goals, boasting an exact average of one goal per match.
The provocation started last year and gained even more strength this season.
The forward had already left his mark in Náutico's victory during the first phase of the Pernambuco Championship.
With the 2-0 win last Sunday, with two goals scored by Paulo Sérgio, Náutico eliminated the rival and secured a spot in the state final, where they will compete for the title against Sport.
