Standout star's brace lifts Flu at Corinthians | OneFootball

Hulk decided it in the 76th minute with a left-footed strike from outside the box, as Fluminense beat Corinthians 3-1.

Earlier, he opened the scoring from the right side of the six-yard box (24.), racing onto a through ball from Luciano Acosta and sliding his finish into the bottom right.

On the stroke of half time he forced a save, then after the restart he struck the decisive second from distance (76.), fed by Ganso on the break, to tilt the night back towards Flu.

He finished with three shots on target from three attempts and two goals, while winning possession five times and two aerial duels, stretching Timão's back line throughout.

The Tricolor Carioca repeatedly found him in transition, where his strength and direct running pinned Coringão's defence and created lanes for supporting runners.

Flu rise from fifth to third in the Brasileirão and host Coritiba next. Timão drop from 13th to 14th and visit Internacional next.
