Gustavo Henrique closes on Yuri Alberto at top of Corinthians 2026 scoring chart after Fluminense loss | OneFootball

Despite a 3-1 defeat to Fluminense on Sunday at the Neo Química Arena, Gustavo Henrique reduced the deficit for Corinthians and moved to seven goals for the season, cutting the gap to leading scorer Yuri Alberto.

Henrique has seven goals in 44 matches this year, while Yuri Alberto leads with eight in 33. The number nine is currently sidelined as he recovers from a serious posterior thigh muscle injury.

Midfielder André Luiz is third on five from 37 appearances. Overall, Corinthians have scored 57 times in 54 games this season, an average of 1.06 per match.

To pull clear of relegation danger, the side must turn chances into victories. They have lost six consecutive league games and sit 14th on 32 points, three ahead of Grêmio, the first club in the drop zone.

After the FIFA international break, Corinthians visit Internacional at Beira-Rio on seven October, a direct meeting between teams aiming to avoid the Z4.
