Many people who are not particularly enlightened in football think that the penta-trick is a rare and surprising phenomenon. Yes, indeed, not many manage to formalize it. However, history knows enough cases when players scored five bright goals in the net of the opponent’s goal. Well, the most famous should be told.
The most recent records
Most recently, on September 23, 2015, Robert Lewandowski, a player in Munich “Bavaria”, was released to replace in the second half. The German club at that time was losing 1-0 to its rival, “Wolfsburg”. However, Lewandowski came out and scored five goals against opponents in less than ten minutes. It was an incredible match, which for a long time was remembered by both the players and the fans.
Just two weeks later, the achievement of the “Polish machine gunner,” as Robert was nicknamed, was repeated by Sergio Aguero, a player at Manchester City. On October 3rd, he scored five goals in a row against FC Newcastle. It was also an impressive penta-trick. It is not known what influenced such "activity" of players. Luck, concentration, concentration, desire, motivation, absent-minded rivals - the mass of options, and maybe all taken together. But one thing can be stated with certainty - five goals scored by one player are not uncommon. And this can be seen in the examples.
The brightest records
So, the fastest penta-trick in football belongs to Robert Lewandowski. What about the rest of the achievements? There are a lot of them. Bost Dost from FC “Heerenveen” designed, though not the fastest penta-trick, but, in any case, spectacular. 5-0 - and “Excelsior” is defeated.
Jermain Defoe of Tottenham Hotspur is the author of the first pentric trick in the new millennium and, in combination, the third such achievement in the entire history of the Premier League. It was in 2009, in a match against FC Wigan.
Dimitar Berbatov in 2010 against the “Blackburn Rovers” designed a great pent-trick, starting from the second minute of the match and finishing seventy. So he became the top scorer of the season.
Miroslav Klose, Lazio player, scored five beautiful goals for Bologna in 39 minutes. This is the first such event in 27 years, as well as the third penta-trick in the history of Serie A.
Carlos Eduardo, a Nice player, scored 5 good goals for Guingamp - starting at 12 minutes and ending at sixty-fourth. And finally, Luis Adriano, playing as part of Shakhtar against the weak and unpretentious BATE, hit the gates of Belarusian rivals five times.
Feats of Three Celebrities
And finally, it is worth telling about the achievements of three players, who are considered the most popular and famous. The first is Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored five goals against FC Espanyol, and one of them was scored from the penalty spot. It is worth noting that this is the second such trick of Ronaldo. In the same year, a little earlier, he had already issued a pentric-trick “Granada”. But “Espanyol” - the opponent is more difficult.
Following is Ramadel Falcao, who scored 5 goals in the net “Deportivo” in 43 minutes. 2012 is the time when the player terrified the entire football Europe.
And, of course, Leo Messi and his phenomenal five goals scored against Bayer in the Champions League - the most prestigious club tournament. The footballer very elegantly “signed” several times in a row at the gates of his rivals. And it was exciting.
Well, you can guess that there are still a lot of amazing pentric tricks ahead, because football is a game that constantly surprises. It remains only to follow the matches!
