MULTIPLE HAT TRICKS
Multiple hat-tricks for same team in a European World Cup qualifier
Two Portugal players, João Neves and Bruno Fernandes (picture), scored hat-tricks in the same World Cup qualifier vs Armenia (9-1) on 16 November.
This is the 10th such feat of team-mates in the history of tournament in European zone (they are listed below) and the 2nd in the current year, after recent Erling Haaland & Thelo Aasgaard’s goal avalanche for Norway vs Moldova (11-1).
Never before such team-mates’ hat-tricks happened in European World Cup qualifiers twice in a single calendar years (neither even in a single edition).
