It didn't take long for Hulk to open his Champions League scoring campaign during Zenit St. Petersburg's opening group-stage match against Valencia.
The Brazilian forward, who only managed one goal during last season's competition, broke the deadlock between the two Group H teams inside the opening 10 minutes when his surging run into the Valencia end resulted in a beautiful finish.
In typical Hulk fashion, the Zenit attacker overpowered the 'keeper after collecting a pass outside the box before thumping a low shot into the far corner.
