Russia (bbabo.net), - Former Zenit striker Hulk brought his current Atlético Mineiro team victory in the Brazilian Super Cup. The club from Belo Horizonte won this trophy for the first time in history.

In the match for the Super Cup, Atlético defeated Flamengo in a dramatic penalty shootout, for which, by the way, former CSKA footballer Vitinho is playing - 2:2, 8:7 in the penalty shootout.

The Hulk became the protagonist of this meeting. First, in the 75th minute, he saved his partners from defeat in regular time, and in a prolonged penalty shootout, the 35-year-old striker scored two accurate shots, the last of which turned out to be victorious.

Previously, Hulk as part of Mineiro won the championship and the Cup of the country. Thus, this season the club has issued a "golden hat-trick". As for Hulk himself, he was recognized as the best player in the Brazilian championship of the 2021 season, and also received awards for the top scorer (19 goals in 35 matches) and the forward of the competition.

Meanwhile, Basel, in which CSKA striker Fedor Chalov has been playing since the winter, dismissed coach Patrick Rahmen. The leadership of the Swiss club decided to dismiss the specialist "due to the unsatisfactory overall development of the team and the lack of a clear perspective." Guillermo Abascal has been appointed acting head coach until the end of this season. Since moving to Basel on loan from CSKA, Chalov has played three games and provided one assist.
