When I scored for the first time, I thought: “It's 1-1, we need a second goal.” After the second one: “Okay, we need the third one, then we will be sure that we will win,” he added.
– Then I scored the third, fourth and fifth goals, but I still didn't think about how many goals I scored. I was looking for another opportunity. I had a chance to score the sixth goal. Someone kicked the ball off the goal line and I was a little angry after the game. But then I told myself that the sixth goal wouldn't have been scored within 10 minutes,” he said.

Five goals in nine minutes is something epic that will stay with me for the rest of my life, he concluded.
