Yuri César hit a brace as Shabab Al-Ahli beat Al-Dhafra on Saturday 22, keeping their 100% record in the national league.

The former Flamengo forward also scored in the 5-1 opening win over Khorfakkan, and Shabab Al-Ahli lead the tournament. According to Coluna Do Fla, the 27-year-old has become a recent club idol in Dubai.

He has played 172 matches, scoring 42 goals and winning seven titles. He is targeting another strong season to add to that haul.

A Flamengo academy graduate, he won the Copinha in 2018 in a campaign that also featured Samuel Lino. He later stepped up to the senior side but did not establish himself, then joined Fortaleza on loan in 2020 until the end of the Brasileirão. In 2021 Flamengo agreed his sale to Shabab Al-Ahli, and he arrived at the club in 2022.

While Yuri César continues his fine form in the United Arab Emirates, Flamengo face Botafogo on Sunday 30 in the Brasileirão.
