Low conversion rate

Yuri's recent form with penalties has been poor, and the numbers prove that, overall, the striker's conversion rate is low: out of 16 penalties he has taken, he has scored 11 and missed 5, which results in a success rate of just 68.8%. The statistics are from Sofascore, a website specializing in football. 

In addition to Yuri, midfielder Maycon, who left for Atlético-MG in 2026, was one of Timão's official penalty takers. Dutchman Memphis Depay and Rodrigo Garro have also recently taken spot kicks. 

Yuri Alberto's Corinthians will be back on the field this Sunday, away against Velo Clube, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the Paulistão.
