Paulinho won't forget the game against Uruguay anytime soon, as he managed to score his first professional hat-trick while entering Brazil's all-time record books.

According to stats specialist Mister Chip, the Brazilian midfielder became the first player from his country to score a hat-trick while playing at Centenario Stadium. His goals were crucial for A Canarinha's comeback win over Uruguay, cementing themselves as the tournament leaders.
