Rodrigo Garro extends Corinthians 2026 assist lead after Cruzeiro draw | OneFootball

Corinthians drew 1-1 with Cruzeiro at Mineirão, with Rodrigo Garro providing the decisive late delivery. According to Meu Timao, the Argentine extended his lead at the top of the club's 2026 assist chart.

The key moment came at 37 minutes of the second half in the fourth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, after William had been sent off to leave Cruzeiro a man down. From a pinpoint corner, Garro picked out João Pedro Tchoca, who rose highest to level and secure a valuable away point.

That assist moved the number eight to three for the season, clear of a group on one that includes Matheuzinho, Pedro Raul, Gustavo Henrique, Vitinho, Matheus Bidu, Ryan, Memphis Depay, Yuri Alberto, Dieguinho and Kaio César. Ryan is on loan at Fortaleza.

Garro now has 26 assists for Corinthians and is rebuilding momentum after injuries in 2025, a spell when Breno Bidon took charge in midfield. He has played the last four matches and ended his longest goal drought in the win over Athletico-PR.

Since arriving, he has made 112 appearances, 90 as a starter, and scored 16 goals. He also featured in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista and Copa do Brasil wins, plus the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil.

He has another opportunity to add to his numbers on Saturday, when Corinthians visit Novorizontino at 20:30 at Estádio Jorge Ismael de Biasi, the Jorjão, in the Campeonato Paulista semi-final.
