The Brazilian stole the show with his prolific display against Sangju Sangmu in Ulsan on Saturday.

The Tigers have strengthened their attack with the signing of Bjorn Johnsen from AZ Alkmaar, but Negrao proved with his performance that competition will be tough for the starting role this season.

The 33-year-old opened the scoring after making a run behind the defence to latch on to a defence-splitting pass and found the back of the net with a composed low finish.

Soon, he was the target man for every Ulsan attack in the first half and did a commendable job in holding the ball up for others to get involved as well.

Negrao was rewarded again for his excellent work, as he converted a penalty awarded to his team in the 45th minute to complete his brace.

He was eventually replaced by Johnsen in the second half, but it will be tough for the new signing to displace him permanently from the starting eleven.
