Bento

Bento Matheus Krepski (born 10 June 1999), known simply as Bento , is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and the Brazil national team.

Club career Athletico Paranaense Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Bento joined Athletico Paranaense' youth setup in 2013, at the age of 14. Promoted to the first team for the 2020 season, he was initially a fifth-choice behind Santos, Jandrei, Anderson and Caio, and renewed his contract until 2023 in July of that year.

On 25 November 2020, as both Santos and Jandrei tested positive for COVID-19, Bento made his first team debut by starting in a 1–1 Copa Libertadores home draw against River Plate. He made his Série A debut three days later, starting in a 3–0 away loss against Palmeiras.

On 30 March 2021, Bento renewed his contract with Furacão until December 2024. He further extended his link until 2025 on 26 October, and became a first-choice in the 2022 season, after Santos left for Flamengo.

Al-Nassr On 17 July 2024, Bento signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr until 2028. He made his debut abroad on 14 August, in a 2–0 away win against Al-Taawoun in the 2024 Saudi Super Cup semifinal, keeping a clean sheet.

On 12 May 2026, he conceded a stoppage-time own goal from a throw-in in the final minute against rivals Al-Hilal, squandering a lead that could have secured the 2025–26 league title in a match that ended in a 1–1 draw.

International career In August 2023, Bento received his first call-up to the Brazil senior national team by interim head coach Fernando Diniz, for two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Bolivia and Peru.

He made his debut on 23 March 2024 in a 1–0 friendly match win against England.
