Rodrigo Garro Aims to Break 18-Match Dry Spell Versus Bragantino
Corinthians will face Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday night at 20:00 at the Neo Química Arena. This match marks an important opportunity for Rodrigo Garro, who is eager to break an 18-match scoring drought.
Rodrigo Garro’s Scoring Drought
Garro last found the net on September 10, 2025. In that match, he scored following a pass from Gui Negão, contributing to a 2-0 victory over Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. Since then, he has struggled to replicate that success.
Injury Challenges
- Garro experienced right calf issues that sidelined him during crucial league games.
- Breno Bidon’s rise in the central position further limited Garro’s playing time.
In 2026, he has started in three of the nine matches played by Corinthians, recording one assist. This assist came during a 2-1 loss against Bahia, where he set up Yuri Alberto’s goal.
Past Injury Struggles
Throughout 2024, Garro dealt with persistent right knee pain, requiring injections for treatment. Early 2025 saw him seeking specialized care in Spain. Although returning to fitness for the start of 2026, he faced another calf setback after a misplaced pass led to Palmeiras’ winning goal in the recent derby.
Performance Overview
Over his time with Corinthians, Garro has made 107 appearances. His contributions include:
| Statistic | Value |
|---|---|
| Matches Played | 107 |
| Starts | 87 |
| Wins | 49 |
| Draws | 27 |
| Losses | 31 |

Garro has played vital roles in significant victories, including titles in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, Copa do Brasil, and the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil. With hopes high for Thursday’s match, fans will be watching closely as he aims to end his long wait for a goal against Bragantino.
