Yuri Alberto faces second-biggest 'victim' again, eyes more v Inter | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional this Sunday (5) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in a match valid for the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the clash, Timão will count on forward Yuri Alberto, who has his former team as one of the opponents he has scored against most often since turning professional with Santos.

Throughout his career, Yuri Alberto has played five matches against Internacional, scoring six goals, an average of more than one per game. The record includes a hat-trick in the 2025 Brazilian Championship, in the most recent meeting between the teams at Neo Química Arena on May 3, a match that also marked Dorival Júnior’s debut in charge of Corinthians.

This was the last match in which Timão’s No. 9 scored three goals in the same game. Overall, the Neo Química Arena top scorer has five hat-tricks, two of them already wearing the Corinthians shirt. In the broader picture, Yuri Alberto’s main victim is Santos, against whom he has scored seven goals in 10 matches. Next come Internacional and Atlético-GO, both having conceded six goals in five games each.

In the current season, Yuri Alberto went through a period of muscle injury in the final stretch of the Paulista Championship. Even so, he has 12 appearances and four goals, making him Corinthians’ top scorer in 2026. Next are defensive midfielders André, with three goals, and Breno Bidon, with two goals.
