Yuri Alberto scores twice again for Corinthians after eight months | OneFootball

Yuri Alberto once again had a standout night wearing the Corinthians shirt. In the 3-0 victory over Remo at Neo Química Arena, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship, the forward scored twice and ended an eight-month stretch without netting a brace for Timão.

The first goal came in the 26th minute of the first half. André Luiz led the counterattack through the middle and found Yuri Alberto making a run. The No. 9 controlled the ball brilliantly and finished with precision, giving goalkeeper Marcelo Rangel no chance.

Then, in stoppage time of the first half, Yuri struck again. After a cross from Matheuzinho, Matheus Bidu nodded it down for Labyad, who set the ball up at the edge of the box. The striker arrived and hit it first time, scoring his second of the match and extending Corinthians’ lead.

The last time Yuri Alberto had scored twice in the same match was in November 2025, in a 3-1 win over São Paulo. On that occasion, the forward scored once from the penalty spot and again by pouncing on a rebound inside the box.

In addition to his decisive performance against Remo, the center-forward also ended a four-month goal drought in the Brazilian Championship. His last goal in the competition had come on March 22, when he found the net in a draw against Flamengo.

In a statement sent to Meu Timão, he said: “I’m very happy about this reunion with the Fiel and to be back helping the team with two goals in such a beautiful win at our home. We worked extremely hard during this break, and seeing this result on the pitch is very rewarding. My focus and dedication are 100% on Corinthians. I’m very happy wearing this shirt and I’ll keep giving my all in every match for these fans. We move forward together,” he said.

The performance reinforces the striker’s strong form, as he once again proved decisive for Corinthians’ attack in an important match. The two goals also boost the No. 9’s confidence for the rest of the season.

Now, Yuri Alberto will try to maintain his positive run at the start of the second half of the Brasileirão. Corinthians’ next match will be against Bahia this Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.
