Yuri Alberto explains his special celebration for Corinthians | OneFootball

The Corinthians defeated Mirassol by 3 to 0 last Saturday, and forward Yuri Alberto scored the second goal of the match. During the celebration, after sliding on his knees — his trademark — he surprised everyone with somersaults, fulfilling a special request from his daughter.

After the match, Yuri Alberto explained the unique celebration and dedicated it to his daughter.

“It's my daughter who asks, right? I tell her, if daddy scores a goal today, what celebration do you want to see? She says: the ‘somersault’,” said the forward to Corinthians TV.

Breaking the home drought

Yuri Alberto's goal helped Corinthians win again at home in the Brazilian Championship. In the national tournament, Timão hadn't won at the Neo Química Arena since May 18, 2025, when they beat Santos 1-0. On that occasion, Yuri also left his mark.

The forward celebrated the victory and dedicated the three points and the goal to the fans.

“It's a wonderful feeling to win and score at home again. I'm happy and, from now on, I want to thank all the support from the Fiel in the last match, which was very delicate for me,” completed the forward.

Standings situation

With the victory against Mirassol, Corinthians moves away from the relegation zone and jumps to the tenth position in the Brasileirão standings, with 33 points. In total, there are eight wins, nine draws, and ten losses.
