Striker Soteldo ended his goal drought in the duel between Grêmio and Fluminense, in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Venezuelan opened the scoring for Tricolor das Laranjeiras, interestingly against his former club and also scored the second goal.
With that, the question remains: when was Soteldo’s last goal in his career? THE Sporting News show.

When was Soteldo’s last goal?
Soteldo hadn’t scored a goal since the day October 26, 2024, in the 3-1 victory over Atlético-GOfor the 2024 Brazilian Championship, when he was still playing for Grêmio. Since then, it has been 42 games without the striker finding the net.
He hadn’t scored two goals in the same game since November 9, 2019, when he scored two in Santos’ 3-0 victory over Goiás.
In the 18th minute, Samuel Xavier launched Luciano Acosta into the attack and Soteldo appeared in the corner, taking advantage of Tiago Volpi’s mistake to finish with the goal open.
In the second half, at six, Serna advanced on the left, passed to Eve who let the ball pass and found Soteldo on the right to finish past Volpi.
It was 402 days without scoring a single goal. Two goals in a single match? It hasn’t happened since 2019…
But today Soteldo came ready to break his fast and apply his ex’s law in double doses!
In fact, what a collective move from Fluminense in that second goal 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/SROQbyMXjW
