Yuri Alberto scores again in a final, 75% win rate for Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians defeated Flamengo 2-0 in the battle for the Supercopa Rei trophy, which brings together the champions of the previous year’s Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. The second goal for the Alvinegro was scored by number 9, Yuri Alberto, who continued a streak since joining the club, securing his third title wearing the Timão shirt.

With almost four years at Parque São Jorge, Yuri Alberto has already played in four finals for Corinthians. The first was in the year he arrived, 2022, when he was on the field for the Copa do Brasil final against Flamengo. He didn’t score, the final went to penalties, and the Rio club ended up champions after Timão missed two penalty kicks.

Since then, Corinthians have played in three more finals, two in 2025 and the latest in the Supercopa. Yuri Alberto scored in all of them and, consequently, the People’s Team was crowned champion in all three tournaments. The first was the Paulistão, where he scored in the first leg of the final, and the second was the Copa do Brasil, with a goal that opened the scoring in the return leg.

In addition to the goal against Vasco da Gama, he was also responsible for the assist to Memphis Depay’s goal, which sealed Corinthians’ fourth Copa do Brasil title in history. Even after interest and offers from other clubs, such as Lazio and Fenerbahçe, he remains at the Parque São Jorge club and has a contract until 2029.

With this goal, he reached 79 goals scored in a Corinthians shirt, in 212 matches, further establishing himself as the club’s top scorer in the 21st century. Now, he continues to prepare with the squad for the rest of the season, which is just beginning. The People’s Team faces Capivariano next Thursday, in the Paulistão, at the Neo Química Arena.

Remember the finals played by Yuri Alberto:

Corinthians 2 x 0 Flamengo (Supercopa 2026 – one goal scored)
