Austria’s national team striker Michael Gregoritsch scored his first triple pack as a professional footballer in the Europa League. The Styrian scored a flawless hat trick with goals in the 3rd, 8th and 36th minutes in SC Freiburg’s 5-0 home game once morest Olympiacos Piraeus on Thursday evening. Gregoritsch also prepared the 4-0 half-time score by Kiliann Sildillia (42nd). 20 minutes following the break, SC coach Christian Streich took his attacker off the field.
“Gregerl has it so difficult, injuries and all sorts of things. Then he makes it 1-0, simply world class. He scores three goals and played well,” said Freiburg coach Christian Streich, praising his match winner on the TV channel RTL+.
Gregoritsch initially stood correctly on a deflected cross and thus ended his negative run. Lucas Höler had strengthened him before the game. “At some point his knot will burst. We know what strengths Gregerl has,” said his strike partner. And just five minutes following taking the lead, Gregoritsch showed off his strengths for the second time on a rainy evening. This time he was there with a header from a corner. He also made it 3-0 with his forehead.
Streich was already conserving his strength following the break. Gregoritsch was farewelled with much applause. Philipp Lienhart also left the pitch in the 66th minute, while substitute Junior Adamu was allowed to play the last 25 minutes. Freiburg is overwintering thanks to its clear success in the Europa League. At the end on December 14th at West Ham United, Freiburg will be aiming for group victory and the associated direct entry into the round of 16.
Gregoritsch has only scored three goals so far: in the jersey of the U21 national team in a 7-0 win once morest Liechtenstein in October 2015. This season has not gone as planned for the 29-year-old at club level. Gregoritsch remained goalless in 14 competitive appearances. In the national jersey, however, he scored an important goal once morest Sweden (3-1) in the European Championship qualification, and Gregoritsch also played well in the friendly once morest Germany (2-0).
