In this regard, through social media, the 'U' boasted about the spectacular goal scored by their '9' and also because the Professional Football League chose it as the best in the beginning of the second part of the local championship.
"«Valegol» always present in the box! Congratulations, goalscorer. And Go U", the student team wrote and reposted the video posted by the official Liga 1 account.
Throughout this season, the 26-year-old forward has played a total of 18 matches between Liga 1 (Apertura/Clausura) and Copa Libertadores, with the following record: 11 goals and one assist. Although the 'killer' was one of Rosario Central's desires (Argentina), this transfer did not materialize and the '9' still aims to fight for the 27th title.
