Scores yet again Cunha scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Cunha scored for the second straight match, this time in a start, though this one ended in a defeat. The forward has earned a look-in at the starting XI and could be in line for some more consistent playing time going forward. Next up is a Tuesday clash with Porto in the Champions League.

Scores, assists off bench in win Cunha scored a goal off his lone shot and provided an assist after coming off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Cunha replaced Luis Suarez as part of a double substitution in the 73rd minute and three minutes later assisted Angel Correa, who was brought alongside him, for his side's third goal. And the forward still found time to find the back of the net himself, sealing the 4-1 win in the closing minutes of the match. This was definitely Cunha's best performance since joining Atletico at the start of the season. He'll hope this helps him to get more playing time during Saturday's home clash against Mallorca.

Scores goal off bench Cunha scored one goal across 18 minutes during a 2-2 draw Thursday against Levante.

Impact Cunha recorded his first La Liga goal. Recording more of that will be rare until further notice, considering he played fewer than 30 minutes during all but one Spanish-league game this year.

On bench against Liverpool Cunha (thigh) will be available off the bench in Tuesday's UCL clash with Liverpool.

Impact Considering Cunha has yet to break into the starting XI since joining Atletico Madrid at the transfer deadline, the fact that he is being held in reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. Unless he can force his way onto the pitch, the forward should be considered a low-end fantasy target this year.

Available vs. Liverpool Cunha (thigh) is in the preliminary squad for Tuesday's clash with Liverpool.

Impact Cunha is in the preliminary squad Tuesday, but is unlikely to get any playing time ahead of Antoine Griezmann or Luis Suarez. The winger could come off the bench, but that is largely game script dependent, and shouldn't be counted on.

OCTOBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Thigh injury confirmed Cunha (thigh) underwent an MRI to confirm a thigh injury that occurred during Thursday training.

Impact Cunha will be out for Saturday's clash with Barcelona and could be facing a long period side-lined with a soft-tissue injury. The forward hasn't been getting much playing time for Atleti with Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann taking the lion's share of the forward duties. Cunha has the international break to recover, but it's likely he will miss time on the other side of the break as well.

Plays 10 minutes in draw Cunha logged 10 minutes as a sub during the 2-2 draw with Villarreal on Aug. 29.

Impact Cunha made a short appearance ahead of the international break and will hope to work his way into the side as he gets more time to train with his newest club. He's also been working his way back from a thigh injury, so getting to full fitness will be integral to his development.

Atlético signs Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Hertha

Atlético Madrid has signed young Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Hertha Berlin

AUGUST 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Signs for Atleti Cunha (thigh) joined Atletico Madrid from Hertha Berlin on Wednesday. He's committed to a five-year contract with the Spanish club.

Impact Cunha broke onto the scene over the last season-and-a-half with 12 goals and five assists while with Hertha. Should he be able to play even better with more talented teammates, Cunha is another addition to a deep roster, and any potential absence by Luis Suarez would open up a spot at striker in the lineup.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from training Cunha is dealing with a thigh problem that kept him out of team training Tuesday and brings his availability versus Wolfsburg on Saturday into doubt.

Impact Cunha recorded an assist and two shots (one on target) in the season opener with Koln, so his absence would certainly impact the club's attacking options Saturday. If Cunha does miss out, Dodi Lukebakio or Davie Selke could slot into the starting XI in his stead.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist in loss Cunha registered one assist, two shots (one on target) and one chance created versus FC Koln on Sunday.

Impact Cunha recorded seven goals on 70 shots (35 on target), four assists, 110 crosses (33 accurate) and 70 corners last season and appears to be on track to produce at similar levels this year as well. The forward should see plenty of opportunities up top, though new signing Stevan Jovetic could serve as the focal point of the attack.

At 38, Alves helps Brazil to soccer gold by beating Spain

AUGUST 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Scores in Gold Medal win Cunha scored one goal on his only shot during Saturday's 2-1 win over Spain.

Impact Cunha had picked up an injury earlier in the tournament but he helped to take the lead late in the first half before Brazil's eventual success in the gold medal match. He'll now take the confidence boost of winning a trophy and return to his club, where he should be a starting option as soon as he's given some rest after this tournament.

AUGUST 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, leaves injured in win Cunha scored a goal off two shots (both on target), had one foul drawn, but was subbed off due to an injury during Saturday's 1-0 win over Egypt.

Impact Cunha scored the game-winning goal for Brazil in the 37th minute, stepping into the box to fire a clinical strike after Richarlison found him unmarked. On the other hand, the striker had to be subbed off in the 54th minute due to a hamstring injury. He's at least questionable for Tuesday's semifinal against Mexico, with Paulinho being the most probable replacement in case Cunha isn't ready to go.

AUGUST 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opener in win Cunha scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and suffered one foul during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Saudi Arabia.

Impact Cunha finally bagged his first Olympic goal, opening the scoring for Brazil in the 9th minute with a beautiful header off a corner kick from the left. The striker will hope this is a sign of better things to come and up next for him is Saturday's quarterfinal against Egypt.

JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes one shot in draw Cunha had one shot on goal and suffered three fouls during Sunday's scoreless draw against Ivory Coast.

Impact Cunha fought hard while he was on the pitch, but couldn't have many scoring chances playing for a team that was one man down since the 13th minute. The striker is still scoreless after two group stage matches and will try to open his account during Wednesday's clash against Saudi Arabia.

JULY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns assist Cunha registered one assist and seven shots (five on target) against Germany on Thursday while also missing from the penalty spot.

Impact While Cunha was certainly a force on the pitch given his five efforts on target but the fact that he missed from the penalty spot could see him replaced in that role heading into the remainder of the tournament, including Sunday's clash with Ivory Coast. Richarlison, who scored a hat trick versus Germany, could make a decent claim to take over as the penalty taker moving forward.

Signs one-year extension Cunha (ankle) agreed to extend his time with Hertha Berlin an additional year Thursday.

Impact Cunha will miss the season finale due to his ankle problem but ends the year having logged 27 matches for the club in which he racked up seven goals on 70 shots (35 on target), four assists, 110 crosses (33 accurate) and 70 corners. Heading into the 2021-22 campaign, the forward should continue to serve as the primary corner taker, making him a top-end fantasy target.
