Zenit St. Petersburg's Champions League campaign got off to a flying start on Tuesday as it took all of five minutes for the Russian side to find the back of the net against Benfica.

In what was the first goal of the group stage of the Champions League, Oleg Shatov provided Hulk with a precision-perfect through ball that beat Benfica's offside trap and was subsequently slotted home by the Brazilian attacking midfielder.

1-0 Hulk!!!! #zenit #benfuca #brazil
