Moroccan forward Yanis Begraoui delivered a striking performance for Portuguese club Estoril, scoring a hat trick in a 4-0 victory against Rio Ave, marking his second such achievement for the team.
The 24-year-old’s recent three-goal haul contributed to a dominant win and underscored a significant uptick in his scoring output. Four of his five goals in the current season have come in his last two appearances, indicating a strong run of form.
His previous hat trick also came for Estoril, in a 4-0 home win against Estrela da Amadora during the final match of the previous season.
Begraoui has made 11 appearances this season, bringing his total goal count to five. In the prior 2023-2024 season, he netted 11 goals across 35 matches.
He remains under contract with Estoril until June 2028, securing his future with the club for three more years. Estoril is managed by Ian Cathro.
