The 33-year-old striker scored four goals in 21 minutes

Former Brazil international Fred achieved what many other players dream of when he helped Atletico Mineiro beat Sport Boys 5-2.

The series of goals took place in the match in Group 6 of the Copa Libertadores on the afternoon of April 14. Fred scored four consecutive goals from the 72nd minute to the third minute of extra time, thereby helping Mineiro come from behind to beat Sport Boys (Bolivia).

Fred has finished each of his goals differently. The No. 9 forward touched the ball to deflect a teammate’s shot for his first goal, then leaned in to tap, head and lob the ball for his next three.

The win over Sport Boys was also Mineiro's first win in Group 6. After two matches, the Brazilian team is leading with four points and a better goal difference than the second-placed team Godoy Cruz (Argentina).

Fred will turn 34 next October. The veteran wearing the number 9 shirt has a record of 335 goals in 567 matches at club level.

Fred also played for Brazil for nine consecutive years, scoring 18 goals in 39 matches. After the failure at the 2014 World Cup, the 1983-born star retired from the international arena.
