Luis Suarez declared himself 'very happy' after scoring all four goals in a 4-0 win over Chile to help Uruguay stay top of the South American World Cup qualifying group.
Our No.7 became the first player to fire four in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier since Brazil's Romario in October 2000.
He hit two in three minutes just before the break, including a stunning low drill with his left foot from 25 yards.
Two more followed after half-time before Suarez went home with the match ball.
He then posted on Facebook: "What a great game! Very happy with the win and the four goals.
"This is a very important step for the classification. Thanks to my teammates and everyone for the support they always give me! Hugs to all!"
Suarez scored four goals several times for former club Ajax but had never done so for his country.
Elsewhere, Daniel Agger played 90 minutes as Denmark beat Sweden 2-0, and Dirk Kuyt also went the distance in Holland's goalless draw with Switzerland.
On Thursday Lucas featured as a substitute in Brazil's 2-0 friendly win over Gabon.
