Claudio Echeverri scored a hattrick for Argetnina U17 vs. Brazil in the quarter finals of the World Cup.

The 17 year old would score his second goal in the second half. He would dribble beyond Brazilian players and score from a difficult angle.

Argentina would have a foot in the semi finals with Echeverri’s third goal. He would be played one on one against the Brazilian goalkeeper and Echeverri would dribble him the way Claudio Caniggia did in 1990 against Brazil and Echeverri would score his third goal of the match.
