The first hat-trick of the Brasileirão in 2026 came in the second round, this Wednesday (4).
Carlos Vinícius, from Grêmio, was the one who achieved this feat, scoring three times in the 5-3 victory against Botafogo.
He scored one goal in the first half and two more in the second half at the Grêmio Arena, continuing his excellent form since joining the club.
Carlos Vinícius also scored the team's only goal in the opening round, in the defeat against Fluminense.
The forward joined the Tricolor in mid-2025, after a stint with Fulham, England.
In 14 matches played in last year's Brasileirão, he had already scored 12 goals.
