Diogo Augusto Pacheco da Fontoura, nickname Diogo Rincón (born on April 18, 1980 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul) is a professional Brazilian football player. He is an attacking midfielder for Corinthians. A former member of the U-17 Brazil squad that won the U-17 World competition, Diogo was a product of Internacional's youth academy and was a featured regular prior to his transfer to Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv in 2002. Unlike many other South Americans who were unable to succeed at Dynamo, Rincon is one of the few successes, having claimed a starting role at Dynamo after his first year at the Ukrainian club. He has been linked numerous times with Western European clubs, but has decided to stay at Dynamo for the time being. Rincon holds the record for the fastest goal in Dynamo's European history - 24 seconds against Turkish club Fenerbahçe on August 8, 2006 in a UEFA Champions League qualifier.
