Garro scores again for Corinthians after over four months | OneFootball

Corinthians defeated Athletico 1-0 this Thursday (19th) at Arena da Baixada, in a match valid for the second round of the Brazilian Championship, marking Rodrigo Garro's return to scoring after a goal drought of over four months.

Garro hadn't scored since September 10, 2025, when he netted against Athletico at Neo Química Arena in a 2-0 victory in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals second leg. Tonight, the Argentine capitalized on a loose ball at the edge of the box and scored a stunning goal with a first-time shot that found the top left corner of goalkeeper Santos.

During this goalless period, the midfielder also faced an assist drought, going almost two months without providing a goal pass, a streak that ended in the Brasileirão opener against Bahia at Neo Química Arena. With the goal scored this Thursday, Garro reached the seventh position among the top foreign scorers in Timão's history, totaling 16 goals.

With Garro available to coach Dorival Jr., Corinthians returns to the field this Sunday (22nd) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), for the decisive match against Portuguesa, valid for the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista at Canindé, which is expected to have a large presence of the alvinegra fans.
