Paulo Gomes de Matos (born 25 January 1984) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a forward.
Club career[]
On 19 June 2005, Matos debuted for São Paulo alongside future Brazil international Hernanes, scoring in a 1–0 win against Botafogo.[1] After his retirement, he would regard that moment as the best in his career.[2]
On 26 November 2005, Matos played for Náutico in that year's Série B promotion play-off final against Grêmio; the match was dubbed the Batalha dos Aflitos, and was played at the Estádio dos Aflitos.[3] During the match, Náutico received two penalties, and Grêmio had four players with red cards, yet Gremio won 1–0.[3] After that game, Matos became depressed, barely slept or ate, did not speak to anybody for two weeks, and vowed to never to go near that stadium again.[3]
