The profile is of a forward who accumulates minutes and finishes chances rather than creating them through assists, based on season output and recent patterns[^fact-3][^fact-6]. ## Season form Across the season Mendoza has registered 15 appearances and 1,224 minutes of playing time, a clear starter-or-regular-sub workload[^fact-2]. Output for that volume reads four goals and zero assists, a striker-focused return rather than a dual creator-finisher role[^fact-3]. Provider-oriented metrics are modest: his season average rating sits at 6.95[^fact-4], while the last five matches show a 0.40 expected assists figure — implying modest expected chance creation in that short run[^fact-5]. The last five appearances are the most revealing phase: Mendoza has produced three goals and no assists in 449 minutes across those matches, concentrating the season’s scoring into a recent hot streak[^fact-6]. That burst explains why the aggregate numbers (four goals in 1,224 minutes) can understate the current attacking influence when the form window is isolated[^fact-2][^fact-3][^fact-6]. ## Availability & momentum Availability has not been a headline issue this season: 15 appearances suggest consistent selection or availability across the campaign so far[^fact-2]. The immediate momentum is positive — the most recent match saw Mendoza score in a 6–2 victory over Adana Demirspor, and he posted a match rating of 6.95 on that outing[^fact-7]. The combination of three goals in the last five and a goal in the latest fixture points to match-level finishing confidence, even if assist output and chance-creation numbers remain limited[^fact-6][^fact-7][^fact-5]. ## What to watch Next up is Flamengo on 2026-05-17T22:30:00+00:00, a fixture that will test whether this short-term scoring run can be sustained against a different opponent[^fact-8]. The decision pivot is straightforward: if selection continues and Mendoza reproduces the minutes-per-goal rhythm from his last five matches, the recent trend suggests further goal threat; if minutes drop back to sporadic appearances, the season total will likely remain modest thanks to low assist figures and a 6.95 average rating baseline[^fact-6][^fact-2][^fact-4][^fact-3]. Keep an eye on minutes and whether the scoring cluster spreads beyond the current five-game window[^fact-6][^fact-2]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 33 years old · Colombia · Attacker · current club Athletico PR.
