OTD E0147 — 27 Mar 1955: The Impossible Hattrick by Angel Labruna

27 Mar 1955: Argentina beat Uruguay 6–1 in the South American Championship, and Ángel Labruna completed one of football’s strangest hat-tricks. He had already scored twice, been substituted off, and was on his way out when his replacement Beto Conde was knocked out by Uruguay’s Matías González. Labruna returned, Musimessi saved a Míguez penalty, and the veteran River idol made it three. A wild Río de la Plata classic in a title-winning campaign.Ideas: [email protected]
