ISL: Chhetri becomes oldest hat-trick scorer as Bengaluru FC dominate Kerala Blasters 4-2
The Statesman
|December 09, 2024
Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri made another glorious addition to his plethora of records by becoming the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the Indian Super League as he helped Bengaluru FC decimate Kerala Blasters 4-2 in a Season 2024-25 clash at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Saturday.
Chhetri inspired the Blues to clinch all three points in this edition of the Southern Rivalry as he scored thrice and at 40 years and 126 days, became the oldest hat-trick scorer in the ISL, surpassing Bartholomew Ogbeche, who did it for Hyderabad FC against FC Goa at 38 years and 96 days old in January 2023.
Despite holding only 36.4% of total possession, Bengaluru FC were clinical in converting the limited opportunities that they created - as four of their five shots on target resulted in goals.
