Miguel Borja is the first player in River's history to score three headed goals in the same game at the Monumental. The Colombian is the top scorer in the League Cup with a start to pure effectiveness in the Millonario.
It took him 55 minutes to score a hat trick in the 5-0 win over Vélez and take the ball home, after having to 'run' to referee Facundo Tello who was keeping it for him. “The referee was taking the ball but I told him it was mine, ha,” joked the Hummingbird.
