Corinthians convert just over 30% of penalties taken in the 2025 season | OneFootball

On the night of last Sunday, September 28, Corinthians hosted Flamengo at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, and ended up being defeated 2-1. The result left the Alvinegro only in 12th place with 29 points (seven wins, eight draws, and 10 losses – 25 goals scored and 31 conceded).

The Corinthians goal was scored by striker Yuri Alberto who, despite ending a four-month goal drought, missed a penalty kick in the first half by trying to chip the ball over Flamengo’s goalkeeper Rossi. The missed penalty highlights Corinthians’ poor penalty conversion rate in 2025.

Out of six penalty kicks awarded to Corinthians this year, the Alvinegro converted only two, which represents a 33.3% success rate. The penalties converted for the Parque São Jorge club this year were by: Yuri Alberto (4-2 win vs Internacional – Brasileirão) and Talles Magno (2-2 vs Portuguesa – Paulistão).

On the other hand, the missed penalties were by: Memphis Depay (2-1 loss vs Mirassol – Brasileirão), Romero (2-1 win vs Velo Clube), and Yuri Alberto (1-0 win vs Palmeiras and 2-1 loss vs Flamengo – Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil 2025). Since joining Corinthians in July 2022, Yuri Alberto has scored six out of eight penalties for the Alvinegro – a 75% conversion rate – considering penalties taken during regular time.

Considering only penalty shootouts, the Corinthians striker converted penalties against Ituano (2023 Paulistão quarterfinals), Remo (second leg, third round, 2023 Copa do Brasil), and América-MG (second leg, quarterfinals, 2023 Copa do Brasil). On the other hand, he missed one against Atlético-MG (second leg, round of 16, Copa do Brasil), but the Alvinegro still advanced.

Check out below Yuri Alberto’s penalty kicks for Corinthians since his arrival at the club – during regular time:

1) Corinthians 2 x 1 Newell´s Old Boys – first leg, round of 16, 2023 Copa Sudamericana – converted
