Matheus Albino, the goalkeeper for CRB, is set to reach a significant milestone as he plays his 100th match for the club during the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Cruzeiro on Thursday evening. The president of the club’s deliberative council, André Carneiro, will mark this occasion by presenting Albino with a framed shirt bearing the number 100 prior to the match.
Albino has already made a remarkable impact at CRB, having been pivotal in securing the team’s advancement to this stage of the tournament through a decisive performance in the penalty shootout. His potential to replicate this success and help the club achieve its first-ever quarterfinal appearance adds to the excitement surrounding this matchup.
At just 30 years old and hailing from Curitiba-PR, Albino joined CRB last season and has quickly become an essential part of the team. In 2024 alone, he has already played 61 matches, contributing significantly to CRB’s efforts in various competitions. He is also a two-time Alagoano champion and was a key player during the memorable campaign that led the team to the Copa do Nordeste final.
The club’s management is hopeful that Albino will continue to be a cornerstone of CRB’s future, as he is under contract until the end of 2028. His journey with the club promises to bring further achievements and memories as he works to solidify his legacy with the alvirrubro jersey.
