Hulk explodes in Brazil

Atletico Mineiro's 39-year-old striker Hulk has set a new record by scoring his 18th goal at the Arena.

Hulk plays the hero for Atlético Mineiro.

On the morning of August 15, Hulk scored the decisive goal to help Atletico Mineiro beat Godoy Cruz 2-1 in the first leg of the South American Super Cup round of 16. This goal helped him become the team's top scorer at home at Arena MRV, surpassing Paulinho (17 goals).

In total, the Brazilian striker scored 130 goals for Atletico Mineiro in 263 matches. Hulk is currently 10th in the club's all-time scoring list, just three goals behind Marques (133 goals).

The leading position belongs to Rei Reinaldo with 255 goals, a record that is considered difficult to break.

Hulk has also been impressive in continental competition. He was Atlético Mineiro’s top scorer in the Copa Sudamericana with three goals in 2025, against Iquique, Bucaramanga and Godoy Cruz. In total, the former Porto star has 19 goals in various competitions, including 16 in the Copa Libertadores.

In the 2025 season, Hulk once again asserted his important role as the team's top scorer (16 goals in 37 games). Not only scoring, the 39-year-old striker also made 50 appearances in international tournaments for Atletico Mineiro, behind goalkeepers Everson (55) and Victor (57).

With 498 goals in 21 years of professional football, Hulk has achieved an impressive milestone that is difficult for any other Brazilian striker of his generation to match.

Neymar recalls his peak days On the morning of August 5, Neymar had his best performance in a long time with a double to help Santos defeat Juventude 3-1 in round 18 of the 2025 Brazilian National Championship.
