The striker tied with Pedro from Flamengo, who hasn’t played since September.
Yuri Alberto became Brazil’s top scorer in 2024 on the night of last Tuesday, the 3rd, after Corinthians’ 3-0 victory over Bahia at Neo Química Arena in the 37th round of the Brasileirão. With his goal in the match, the striker reached 30 goals, equaling Pedro from Flamengo, who has not played since September. Get the latest football scores at ai live score.
Additionally, Corinthians’ number 9 also became the top scorer of the Brazilian Championship with 14 goals, one more than Alerrandro from Vitória. After an underwhelming first half of the season, Yuri Alberto was cheered by fans when substituted in the second half—a stark contrast to earlier this year when, under coach Mano Menezes, he was called “stupid” by the manager.
But things have turned around. In the last seven matches, Yuri Alberto has scored nine goals and has been one of the key players in Corinthians’ resurgence this season. After battling relegation for most of the league, the São Paulo club has now entered the Libertadores qualification zone and depends solely on itself to secure a spot in the international tournament.
This could even be the first time Yuri Alberto wins a scoring title in his career. The closest he came before was during his time with Internacional when he finished the Brasileirão with 12 goals, two fewer than his current tally. Beyond the national league, the striker also came close to being the top scorer in the Copa Sudamericana, ending with nine goals—just one behind Martínez of Racing. Lead the pack with BB Score.
