Lucas Moura and James Rodriguez’s revelations in Sao Paulo are RUINED as Hulk steals the show with a thunderous free-kick to help Atletico Mineiro win 2-0
Veteran former Brazilian star Hulk thunders in a 40-yard free kick to ruin Lucas Moura and James Rodriguez’s debut in Sao Paulo and help Atletico Mineiro to a 2-0 win
- James Rodriguez and Lucas Moura were unveiled in Sao Paulo in princely style
- However, Hulk stole the show when he scored a stunning long range free kick
- Sao Paulo fell to a 2-0 defeat and saw their winless run stretch to five games
Lucas Moura and James Rodriguez received extravagant receptions in front of the Sao Paulo fans, but it was Hulk who stole the show.
The two former Premier League stars were unveiled in a shower of confetti after joining the Brazilian club, but there was little to celebrate on the pitch.
Hulk sent a sensational free-kick into the top corner just four minutes into the rain on the parade, as Moura made his debut and Rodriguez watched from the stands.
Sao Paulo eventually fell to a 2–0 defeat at the hands of Hulk’s Atletico Mineiro and saw their winless run stretch to five games.
Hulk has now been tearing up in his home country for three seasons after spells in Europe and Asia, scoring 22 goals this season.
Lucas Moura was presented to Sao Paulo fans before kick-off, but his debut ended in defeat
James Rodriguez also received a royal welcome, but spoke from the stands
Moura hopes to imitate that kind of form after returning to Sao Paulo after an 11-year absence.
The former Champions League finalist left Tottenham this summer after a volatile spell in London.
Rodriguez did not play against Atletico Mineiro because he is still working on his fitness.
The Colombian playmaker was released by Olympiacos in April and has not played in a competition since.
