Decisive! Canobbio joins Fluminense’s top 3 knockout scorers since 2020 | OneFootball

Agustín Canobbio’s goal-scoring instinct in decisive moments is becoming sharper and sharper. It’s no coincidence that the Uruguayan is the player with the most goals in knockout matches in Série A since 2025. By finding the net against Bangu this Monday (16th), in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca, the forward not only contributed to the tricolor’s qualification, but also took another significant step toward cementing his name in the club’s recent history.

With this goal, Canobbio reached 8 goals in knockout (elimination) games for Fluminense, matching the record of midfielder Nenê and entering the Top 3 in this statistic since 2020.

Impressive Efficiency

What stands out most in the Uruguayan’s numbers is his efficiency. While Nenê needed 24 games to reach eight goals, Canobbio hit the same mark in just 16 matches and in only one year at the club.

This means an average of 0.5 goals per knockout game—in other words, statistically, the forward scores a goal every two decisive matches he plays. With this rise, he has surpassed idol Fred, who has 7 goals in 18 games over this period.

Despite his rapid ascent, Canobbio still has a way to go to catch up with the leaders of the ranking. Colombian Jhon Arias appears in second place, with 12 goals in 45 games.

At the very top, in a league of his own, is the tricolor’s “King of Cups,” Germán Cano. The striker has an impressive 32 goals in 54 knockout matches, a record that illustrates the weight and importance of his time at Laranjeiras.
