In a shot that is too good to be true, 28-year-old international football superstar Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, aka “The Hulk,” lives up to his nickname when his single kick of a soccer ball sends the goalie flying through the back of the net.

Many are calling this video a PR stunt, and they are correct. The whole thing was most likely staged for the Hulk’s first day of pre-season training reports Yahoo News.  From the video, it looks like the hole was cut out of the net in advance.

Hoax or not, it hasn’t stopped the video from going viral. The 13-second clip has more than 6 million views.
