Shakhtar Donetsk’s Luiz Adriano scored 5 goals against BATE Borisov in a group match, accomplishing what only Lionel Messi had done before in the Champions League era.

Adriano pounced on what was clearly haplessness on the part of the Borisov defence to score 4 goals in 16 first-half minutes, and rounded it off by netting his 5th from the penalty spot in the second half, as Shakhtar defeated the Belarusians 7-0.
