Star of Atlético-MG, the striker Hulk has not scored a goal from open play in the Brazilian Championship for almost a year. Despite being Galo's top scorer in 2025, the captain of Sampaoli's team is experiencing a long goal drought from open play.
Last Saturday, Atlético-MG lost to Botafogo by 1 to 0, despite having one more player during the second half. Hulk had a timid match, with only four shots, not hitting the target any time, according to data from Sofascore.
The low performance with the ball in play in the Brasileirão has been frequent since the 22nd of September, 2024. On this date, Hulk scored the third goal of Atlético-MG in the 3-0 victory over Red Bull Bragantino. The survey was conducted by DataFut.
Since then, Hulk has taken the field 26 times for the Brazilian Championship and scored six times, all from set pieces. During this period, the striker also provided five assists.
