During the first half of Saturday's match between Vitória and Corinthians in the 2025 Brasileirão, a play involving Yuri Alberto went viral and even sparked outrage among Timão fans on social media. The striker received a through ball, dribbled past goalkeeper Thiago Couto, and with an open goal, shot wide, wasting an incredible chance.
Although the play at Barradão stadium was ruled offside, the move generated countless comments. “The guy earns one and a half million a month and still manages to miss that goal. Yuri Alberto is unbelievable,” wrote one fan.
Another added: “He may have been offside, but it’s UNBELIEVABLE for Yuri Alberto to miss a goal like that.”
Even rivals took the opportunity to poke fun. A Palmeiras fan joked: “They swore to me that this Yuri Alberto was better than Vitor Roque.”
At the end of last month, Yuri Alberto had already been involved in a controversial play: the missed penalty against Flamengo when he tried a chip shot against goalkeeper Rossi. The player revealed he was called out by the Corinthians squad because of the incident.
