In total, Gustavo Henrique has seven goals and three assists for Timão. Out of the ten contributions, six had a direct impact on the course of the matches: five goals opened the scoring for the alvinegra team and one contribution resulted in a game draw. In the other four instances, Corinthians was already ahead in the score in three games and at a disadvantage in one.
