Garro endures longest goal drought since joining Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians had to go through a period without Garro on the field, due to the player's knee pain. Because of this, and other reasons, the number 8 is going through the longest period without scoring a goal for Timão, accumulating 17 matches without celebrating his own goal.

The mark was reached in the last match, when Corinthians beat Athletico-PR in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. As mentioned, it is the worst sequence since he was hired, having a goal disallowed in this period, against Bahia, after the referee detected a handball by Kayke at the start of the play.

The last time Garro scored a goal was in the classic match against Santos, in the semi-final of the Paulistão, on March 9. Corinthians won 2 x 1, with goals from him and Yuri Alberto, securing a place in the final, where they would face and beat Palmeiras in the grand final in two matches.

Despite not contributing by scoring goals, he continues to stand out in creating plays and set pieces. With five assists, he is only behind Memphis Depay in the ranking of assists for the year. In total, he has 20 assists with the Timão jersey.

Resting among the starters of the last match, Garro should be a starter in Corinthians' next match. Timão faces Palmeiras for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão, at the Neo Química Arena, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
