Corinthians won 1-0 on the evening of last Saturday, October 18, in the popular "six-point duel" against Atlético-MG, at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The goal for the Alvinegro was scored by midfielder Maycon, right at the beginning of the second half. The result left the Corinthians team in 11th place with 36 points (nine wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 31 goals scored and 35 conceded).

The player who assisted the number 7, midfielder Rodrigo Garro – the second-highest assist provider for Corinthians in 2025 with seven assists, in addition to two goals scored – climbed the ranking of foreign players in the history of the Parque São Jorge club with the most goal involvements. Now, the number 8 occupies the fourth position, with 37 (15 goals + 22 assists). The data was released by journalist Tomás Rosolino, on his account on X, formerly Twitter.

He surpassed former striker Germán Herrera, who has 36 goal involvements for Corinthians. In this ranking, Rodrigo Garro is surpassed only by Ángel Romero (103), Paolo Guerrero (68), and Tévez (62). Besides Herrera, just below the Argentine midfielder are, completing the top-10, the following names: Memphis Depay (29), Mauro Boselli (22), Balbuena (19), Freddy Rincón (18), and Peres (15).

Rodrigo Garro joined Corinthians in January 2024 after standing out for a few seasons at Talleres, Argentina. Since then, he has played 91 matches with the Corinthians jersey, achieving 42 wins, 24 draws, and 25 losses – almost 55% success rate, with 15 goals scored and 22 assists.

In the last edition of the Brazilian Championship, he was crucial in the team's surge, moving out of the relegation zone and finishing in seventh place – 56 points – securing spots in the preliminary phase of the 2025 Libertadores and this year's Copa do Brasil, where the team is about to compete in the semifinals. The number 8 was the leader in assists in the last national tournament (10) and was included in the ESPN Brazil Silver Ball Selection.

In 2025, he was part of the squad that won the state championship against Palmeiras in the grand final, held at the Neo Química Arena, but has been facing difficulties in maintaining a sequence on the field due to physical problems. Between March 27 and May 27, he was away from the pitch treating a patellar tendinopathy in his right knee. He even went to Spain to speed up recovery.

Last September, he suffered a grade 2 injury in his right calf and recently returned to play with the Corinthians jersey. Recovered, Garro will be available for Corinthians' next match. This Saturday, October 25, at 4 pm (Brasília time), the Alvinegro will visit Vitória at the Barradão Stadium for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.
