Ghana forward Joseph Paintsil was over the moon on Saturday night after scoring his first-ever hat-trick for LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer (MLS).
On the matchday, the winger gave the Sporting Kansas City defense no space to breathe, scoring after just four minutes into the first half. Later in the 24th minute, the attacker got his second of the day, completing a very good attacking play by his team.
Although Dejan Joveljic equalised just three minutes later to halve the deficit for Sporting Kansas City, Joseph Paintsil was not done.
The Black Stars forward found the back of the net for the third time in the 43rd minute, completing a fantastic first-half hat-trick to lead his team to the huge 4-1 win against Sporting Kansas City.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Joseph Paintsil shared his delight, noting that it means a lot to him.
“I’m really happy. This is my first MLS hat-trick. It means really a lot to me. This is something that is going to motivate me,” the forward told the LA Galaxy media team.
After his hat-trick against Sporting KC, Joseph Paintsil has become the third player in Los Angeles Galaxy history to produce a first-half hat-trick, joining Robbie Keane (May 26, 2013) and Alejandro Moreno (May 19, 2004).
