Hulk underlines his comeback this season with an impressive achievement | OneFootball

Since the goal in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana semifinal against Independiente del Valle, Hulk has rediscovered his good form. And this Saturday (8), he reached another important milestone.

After scoring his 500th career goal in the 3-0 win over Bahia, the striker was decisive once again—this time coming off the bench.

Hulk was directly involved in three goals (1 goal and 2 assists) in the 4-2 comeback victory over Sport, in a Brasileirão match.

According to Opta data, he is the first player to come off the bench and be involved in three or more goals in a Série A match in over four years.

The last to do so was Nacho Fernández, also for Galo, against Santos in October 2021 (2 goals and 1 assist).

With this result, Atlético became only the second team to win a match after trailing by two goals in this Brasileirão—a feat previously achieved only by Palmeiras, in their 3-2 win over São Paulo.
