Zenit forward Hulk has praised the role of team-mate Oleg Shatov in his goal against Benfica.
The Brazil international opened the scoring to help Zenit on their way to a 2-0 win and was quick to highlight Shatov’s assist after the match.
“It was great play by Oleg Shatov for my goal,” he told UEFA.com. “He made a wonderful pass and I only needed to put the chance away.
“However, the most important thing was the performance of the team, not only my goal and Witsel’s. Every player was terrific and that’s the most important thing.”
