Óscar Estupiñán closed 2022 with a goal, the Colombian added his second consecutive score after converting against Blackpool. This time it was against Birmingham as a visitor to give Hull City three points that allow them to move up the standings after ending a 6-game winless streak. He is the third top scorer in the second division in England.
Little by little, the Colombian is recovering his level. Coach Rosenior has begun to give him more confidence and the striker responds with goals. This time it was after a cross at ground level by Christie in which Estupiñán was well positioned inside the area to beat Ruddy and convert the only goal of the match.
There are 10 goals that Estupiñán has accumulated so far this season, that’s how he gets third in the tournament scoring table below Chuba Akpom (Middlesbrough) and Viktor Gyökeres (Coventry City) both with 12.
