At 08:30 Beijing time on August 19, the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, the 35-year-old Hulk completed 1 pass and 1 shot, and Atlético Mineiro defeated River Plate 3-0 at home, and the two-legged aggregate score was 4-0 to advance to the semi-finals.
In the first leg, Hulk assisted Fernandez to score the only goal of the game, and Mineiro Athletic won 1-0 away to River Plate. Coupled with 1 pass and 1 shot in the second leg, Hulk was directly involved in three goals against River Plate in two legs.
With an annual salary of 20 million euros in Shanghai Harbour, Hulk only receives a salary of 2.3 million euros at Atlético Mineiro, but the former Super Superstar still plays at Atlético Mineiro. He has made a total of 38 appearances for Atlético Mineiro this season, handing over a double-double of 18 goals and 11 assists, including 10 appearances in the Copa Libertadores, directly involved in 10 goals (7 goals and 3 assists).
After eliminating River Plate 4-0 on aggregate over two legs, Atlético Mineiro will meet defending champions Palmeiras for a ticket to the final. Atlético Mineiro has been ambitious this season, having just announced the introduction of former Atletico and Chelsea striker Diego Costa. Atlético Mineiro won the Copa Libertadores in 2013 and are now once again on the verge of a second Copa Libertadores title in team history.
Finally, let's take a look at Hulk's brilliant goal. I can't understand why he played so badly in his last season at Shanghai Harbor.
