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.
