Igor Thiago - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent off against Brighton Thiago was shown a straight red card in the 21st minute of Sunday's Premier League clash against Brighton after pushing an opponent in the face.

Impact Thiago left Brentford down to 10 men early in Sunday's encounter after pushing Chema in the face and receiving a straight red card. The forward will be suspended for at least the upcoming Premier League clash against Everton, although the length of his ban has yet to be confirmed. His absence will leave Brentford without an attacking option, with Callum Wilson potentially benefiting from additional playing time during his suspension. Thiago's return date will depend on the disciplinary decision following the incident.

Scores goal in win Thiago scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Thiago found space inside the box and applied a one-touch finish in the 76th minute to double Brentford's lead in the weekend duel. He had already scored in cup play and set up goals in two straight league starts, so he's riding a productive stretch, although still a long way from the 22 Premier League goals he scored last season. His nine duels won and five fouls drawn also show how much physical toll he absorbs as the focal point of the attack. He's averaging 2.2 shots (0.6 on target) per game this campaign.

Provides assist in draw Thiago assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Hull City.

Impact Thiago found a rebound in the 63rd minute and passed to Dango Ouattara, setting up a goal for the second consecutive match. The Brazilian still hasn't stood out as the goal scorer he was in the 2025/26 period, but he remains a constant presence in the team's pressing, and that work has fed into those two assists. He has also recorded at least one shot and one chance created in each of his last five starts, so his involvement stays steady even with just one goal scored in the current EPL competition.

Impact Igor Thiago provided a single assist during Saturday's loss, making the most of his only chance created. The forward was struggling to stay involved, especially once Brentford went down to only nine men on the pitch. It's a disappointing loss, but when limited to nine players it's not a surprising one.

Impact Thiago struggled to threaten the goal directly, attempting just one shot, but contributed to Brentford's attacking buildup by creating three chances. His delivery also helped produce Yehor Yarmolyuk's early opener, although he missed a promising opportunity from Michael Kayode's cross in the second half. The striker has now scored just once from 14 shots while creating five chances across six Premier League appearances this season. After scoring 22 league goals last season, Thiago has endured a difficult start to the new campaign and will look to rediscover his scoring touch in the upcoming fixtures.

Scores in Friday's win Thiago scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 win over Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.

Impact Thiago bagged his first goal of the season, an unassisted strike in the 83rd minute which took the 2-0 lead. It was one of three shots he took in the match and he also created one chance. Thiago has had a slow start to the season, especially coming off his 22-goal campaign last season, but this goal may kickstart another strong season for the Brazilian.

Still without goal contribution Thiago had two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Sunderland.

Impact Thiago produced Brentford's first significant test of Roefs with one of his two attempts finding the target, but he was unable to convert and remains without a goal contribution through three Premier League appearances. That's a quiet opening compared with his 22-goal Premier League campaign last season. Continuing to generate shots is encouraging, but Brentford will be looking for their center-forward to rediscover the finishing efficiency that made him such a productive scorer.

Five shots against Leeds United Thiago registered five shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Thiago was Brentford's most persistent attacking threat at Elland Road, registering five shots including two on goal across 90 minutes, opening the match with an early back-post volley straight at James Trafford before heading Dango Ouattara's cross against Trafford's palms in the 79th minute with the goal at his mercy. He also delivered two crosses and nearly restored Brentford's lead instantly after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's equalizer but could only turn Trafford's parried save into the side netting at full stretch. Thiago now has two shots on goal from two Premier League appearances this season without yet opening his account for the campaign.

Misses penalty in opener Thiago registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Thiago had a golden opportunity to score in Saturday's season opener, but his penalty attempt in the 55th minute hit the left post and ricocheted out of harms way. It's an unfortunate way to start the season for Thiago despite the big win, as that moment was really the only negative in Brentford's otherwise dominant win. On the bright side, the Brentford attack looked potent and completely in sync versus Spurs, so Thiago should have plenty of opportunities to finish off attacks this season.

Scores on preseason return Thiago made his first preseason appearance and scored one goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Rennes.

Impact Thiago finished last season with 22 goals and one assist, the Premier League's second highest scorer behind Erling Haaland, before a quiet World Cup with Brazil that saw him start the opener against Morocco but go unused the rest of the tournament. His immediate impact upon returning to the squad is an encouraging sign, and he looks set to remain Brentford's undisputed starter up front and primary penalty taker heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League season.

Joins Brentford camp Thiago has returned to Brentford's training camp following his World Cup campaign with Brazil, the club posted.

Impact Thiago heads to Brentford's preseason after a World Cup with Brazil in which he started the opening match against Morocco before going unused for the remainder of the tournament, a quiet finish to what had otherwise been a landmark breakout year. He now turns his focus back to the club level, where he delivered 22 goals and one assist last season to finish as the Premier League's second top scorer behind Erling Haaland. Thiago will hope to carry that form into the new campaign as Brentford's undisputed starter up front and the club's penalty taker.
