Hulk double earns Porto win

Porto - Burly Brazilian forward Hulk scored twice to help Porto come back from a goal down and beat APOEL Nicosia 2-1 in a Champions League Group D match on Wednesday.

Porto dominated the first half but APOEL stunned the home side when they scored with their first attack on 22 minutes.

Helio Pinto crossed from the left and, trying to prevent Constantinos Charalambides reaching the ball, Alvaro Pereira deflected the ball into his own net.

The Portuguese champions took 11 minutes to react and equalised when irrepressible Colombian striker Falcao stole the ball on the edge of the Cypriot box and passed to Hulk who scored with a well-placed left-footed drive on 33 minutes.

In the first minute of the second half, Elias handled the ball in the box and Hulk converted from the spot to give the hosts a deserved win.
