The number 2 was signed by the Alvinegro at the beginning of 2024 after a successful stint in Flamengo's youth and professional teams, taking over the absolute starting position in the Corinthians team in the middle of last year and was important in the team's surge in the last Brasileirão towards the preliminary phase of the Libertadores and in the 2025 Paulista title against Palmeiras.

In total, there are 44 wins, 27 draws, and 29 losses – a 52.5% success rate. Additionally, there are five goals and seven assists. In 2025, he has three goals and four assists, most of his contributions coming after the arrival of coach Dorival Júnior, hired at the end of April.

According to Sofascore, a sports statistics app, the right-back accumulated the following numbers in the match against Grêmio: 29/33 accurate passes (88%), 13/19 accurate passes in the opponent's half (84%), 16/17 accurate passes in his own half (94%), 49 actions with the ball, 1/1 tackle won (100%), two ball recoveries, two interceptions, one blocked shot, and 1/3 ground duels won.

Now, Matheuzinho should also be available for Corinthians' next match. Next Wednesday, the 5th, at 7 PM (Brasília time), the Alvinegro will visit Red Bull Bragantino at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
