Due to this special milestone, the club published a tribute to the player on social media. “Yuri Alberto reached 100 goal involvements wearing the Corinthians jersey! 211 games, 78 goals, and 22 assists. HE IS THE PROTAGONIST OF THE PEOPLE'S TEAM, LOYAL FANS!“, the club stated – see the post below.

It was Yuri Alberto's second goal of the season, being in the second consecutive game. Against Santos, in the last round, he scored the opening goal right after missing a penalty. It's worth noting that he didn't play in the first round of the Paulistão, where Corinthians defeated Ponte Preta 3-0, as he was in Europe dealing with document issues.

After facing Velo Clube away, Corinthians turns its attention to the debut in the Brazilian Championship. Next Wednesday (28th), at 8 PM (Brasília time), the Alvinegro hosts Bahia in Santos, at Vila Belmiro, for the first round of the competition.
