38-year-old former Harbour superstar cheated: free kick was kicked as a penalty kick, scored 2 in 1 game

On July 21, 38-year-old Hulk once again became the focus of attention from the outside world. In the Brazil League, he scored two violent free kicks in a single game, with an amazing angle and speed, making it difficult not to be amazed.

In this game, Atletico Minero, who played for Hulk, challenged Palmeiras away, and Hulk started. In the 33rd minute, the home team scored a goal and Atletico Minero fell behind 0-1. In the 42nd minute, Atletico Minero got a good free kick at the front of the penalty area.

Hulk came to take the penalty. For him, free kicks at this position have a very high success rate. He didn't even have to start, sway his legs in place, shoot, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and drilled into the blind spot of the goal. Slow motion shows that this is a blind spot in the absolute sense. Although the goalkeeper tried his best to save, he could only watch the ball enter the net. In the second half, Atletico Minero conceded 2 goals in a row, and the score became 1-3. In the injury stoppage time, in the 90th and 1st minute, Atletico Minero once again got a free kick with a good position. Compared with the first free kick, this time the position is more in the middle, suitable for Hulk to shoot directly.

Sure enough, Hulk accelerated this time and then violently hit the ball. The ball went straight to the goal like a shell. After Hulk exerted huge force, the ball was too fast. The goalkeeper stood there without any response, watching the ball enter the net. The goalkeeper seemed to have no courage to save this ball.

2-3, Minero Athletics lost regret, but Hulk's performance was amazing. Netizens were amazed that the former Harbour superstar had reached the level of kicking a free kick and kicking a penalty kick. 8 days ago, in the last round of the Brazil League, Hulk scored directly with a corner kick, tying the score, which was jaw-dropping. However, Atletico Minero was then defeated.

Since 2021, Hulk has returned to Brazil. He has scored nine free kicks in the past four years, more than twice as many as any other player.
