Paatoop - Despite Reza Gucci Ghoochannejhad’s hat-trick in Eindhoven, Heerenveen was defeated 4-3 by PSV.
Iranian international striker Reza Gucci Ghoochannejhad, who scored two goals against ADO Den Haag last week, scored three goals (5′, 54′, 80′) against PSV on Sunday.
However, PSV responded well, especially at the end of the match, where they scored two goals in a matter of minutes.
Gucci did however break some records: he is now the first and only Asian player to score a hat-trick in the Dutch Eredivisie, and this is the first time Heerenveen has lost despite a hat-trick.
Heerenveen is now fourth in the Dutch Eredivisie with 32 points from 19 matches, ahead of Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s club (AZ) by only goal difference.
On January 25th, Heerenveen will travel to face AZ, for a quarter-finals clash of the 2016-17 KNVB Cup (Dutch Cup).
