Yuri Alberto nine games without a goal, equals second-longest drought | OneFootball

Corinthians beat São Paulo 3-2 this Sunday (10) at Neo Química Arena in the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the victory in the Majestoso, forward Yuri Alberto once again failed to score and reached the mark of nine consecutive matches without finding the net for the black-and-white club.

The current negative run began on April 9, when the No. 9 scored against Platense in Corinthians’ Copa Libertadores debut. Since then, Yuri has not found the net again.

During this period, the forward played in matches against Palmeiras, Vitória, Vasco, Mirassol and São Paulo in the Brasileirão, as well as clashes with Independiente Santa Fe and Peñarol in the Libertadores, and Barra in the Copa do Brasil.

With the current streak, Yuri Alberto has equaled his second-longest scoring drought since arriving at Corinthians. The striker had already gone nine matches without scoring on two other occasions, once in 2024 and again in 2025.

In the 2024 season, the center forward last scored in a 2-2 draw against Atlético-GO in June, and only found the net again in the match against Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense the following month.

In 2025, meanwhile, the scoreless spell began after the win over Novorizontino in the Copa do Brasil and lasted until September, when he scored again against Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Yuri also missed part of the run due to fitness issues.

The striker’s longest drought for the club came in 2023, when he went ten consecutive matches without scoring. If he fails to find the net in the next match, Yuri will match his worst mark since arriving at Parque São Jorge.

Corinthians return to the pitch next Thursday (15) at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time, when they host Barra Futebol Clube at Neo Química Arena in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. In the first leg, Timão won 1-0 away from home.
