Garro matches ex-goalkeeper to become Corinthians’ fourth most-used foreigner | OneFootball

Argentine midfielder Rodrigo Garro made his 138th Corinthians appearance in Sunday’s 2-0 first-leg defeat to Internacional at Beira-Rio in the Copa do Brasil round of 16, becoming the club’s fourth most-used foreign player.

According to Meu Timao, the milestone puts the number 8 level with José Hungarês, the goalkeeper who represented Corinthians from 1934 to 1940 and won Paulista titles in 1937 and 1938.

Only three players now sit ahead of Garro. Paraguayan Ángel Romero leads with 377 games, followed by compatriot Fabián Balbuena on 167, with Colombian Freddy Rincón third on 158.

From the current squad, Peru international André Carrillo is ninth among foreign appearance-makers, having played 101 times since joining Corinthians.

Corinthians host Internacional in the return leg on Thursday 6 at the Neo Química Arena, with kick-off at 20:00. They must win by two goals to force penalties, or by three to progress directly to the quarter-finals.
