The Brazilian goalkeeper planted his second goal in Liga MX, reaching four career goals in Mexican football.
Not many net-breakers among the custodians of a team, yet Tiago Volpi has become a rare exception in Mexican football. He has joined the select group of goalkeepers who contribute offensively, boosting his personal tally in the Primera División de Mexico and demonstrating a knack for turning up when his side needs him most.
Volpi is breaking with traditional expectations, carving out a reputation as one of the best keepers to arrive in the national scene. Across the clubs he has represented, he has left a lasting imprint, proving that a goalkeeper can impact the scoreboard just as decisively as a forward when opportunity arises. His early-season impact has helped anchor the teams he’s played for and added a new dimension to how his teams defend and attack from the back.
To date, Volpi has accumulated four goals across Mexican football, a count achieved in both the Liga MX and the domestic cup competitions. These goals have come for the White Roosters from Querétaro and the Red Devils of Toluca, underscoring his versatility and willingness to push forward on set-pieces and rare attacking moments. The most recent breakthrough occurred in matchday 14 of the 2023 closing phase, when his intervention helped Scarlets face Puebla at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium, illustrating the rarity and significance of a goalkeeper contributing on the scoreboard in high-stakes fixtures.
This article from Goal will outline how Volpi’s scoring record is distributed between the league competition and the knockout-style cup tournaments, providing a clear view of his contributions across Mexico’s top football stages.
