With a strong performance from the defense and the security of Hugo Souza, Corinthians won their last match against Atlético-MG, 1-0, without conceding any goals. With this score, the Timão goalkeeper reached his 35th game without retrieving the ball from the back of the net, standing out among the names in the position this century. The numbers are from journalist Tomás Rosolino.
With 83 games played, the number 1 equaled Walter's record at Corinthians, who had this number in 91 matches with the black-and-white jersey. Because of this, the current goalkeeper's average is higher: Hugo did not concede a goal in 42% of the games, while the current Mirassol defender kept a clean sheet in 38% of the matches.

The average, in fact, puts Hugo Souza in the spotlight in the top-6 goalkeepers with the most games without conceding goals this century. The leader of the ranking is Cássio, who played 712 matches with the Timão jersey and did not see the ball cross the goal line in 298 of them. With these numbers, the average is 41% – 1% less than the current goalkeeper.
Felipe, with 69 games (35%), Júlio César, 58 games (41%), and Fábio Costa, 38 games (32%) complete the ranking of six names. In other words, all have a lower average than that achieved by Hugo Souza so far in his time at the Parque São Jorge club.
The Corinthians goalkeeper had a shoulder dislocation detected this week and is expected to miss the team's next match in the Brasileirão. The game against Vitória will take place at Barradão, in the 30th round of the championship, starting at 4 PM (Brasília time), on Saturday, the 25th.
