Sorloth shines with 'hat-trick' against Girona
Atlético de Madrid has a lethal striker: Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian, signed after the failed negotiation with Dovbyk, proved his worth in a memorable match against Girona, the team where the Ukrainian shone last season.
Sorloth and Dovbyk, two players who coincided at Midtjylland, have always been compared. Sorloth has proven to be more effective, scoring a goal every 89 minutes, while Dovbyk does so every 187 minutes.
In the match against Girona, Sorloth took to the field in the 62nd minute and quickly made his presence felt. Within minutes, he opened the scoring with an impeccable team play, culminating in an accurate finish.
Atlético’s second goal came shortly after, scored by Lenglet after a goalkeeper error. Sorloth’s show reached its peak in the final minutes, with two more goals that sealed his ‘hat-trick’. The first, after a recovery by Gallagher and a precise cut in the area; the second, thanks to a generous assist from Correa. At the end of the match, Correa gave the ball to Sorloth, recognizing his well-deserved reward for a stellar performance. Well done, Alexander!
