“Ex-club curse” and 10 years on: Canobbio marks goal v Athletico-PR | OneFootball

Forward scored Fluminense’s second goal in the 3-3 draw at Arena da Baixada and expressed gratitude to his former club

Back at Arena da Baixada for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, Agustín Canobbio was one of the standout players in the lively 3-3 draw between Fluminense and Athletico-PR. Scorer of the Tricolor’s second goal, the Uruguayan delivered the famous “former player’s rule” — repeating what he had done in the first meeting at the Maracanã — on a memorable day in his football career.

In addition to his strong performance in Curitiba, the forward celebrated exactly ten years since his professional debut. Not even the boos from the stands took away the No. 17’s sense of gratitude toward his former club.

“I will always have respect. It was the club that opened the doors for me here in Brazil. I’m very grateful, and I always will be. (Boos) are part of football, right? The booing, the atmosphere. And today the former player’s rule happened. I’m happy to help my team. And also because today marks ten years as a professional for me, so it was an even more special goal,” Canobbio said as he left the pitch.
