Decisive figure's hat-trick hauls Nacional back against Santa Clara

Jesús Andrés Ramírez sparked the comeback in the 21st minute with a calm finish, as Nacional and Santa Clara drew 3-3.

Ramírez first arrived between the centre-backs to steer in Paulinho Boia's headed lay-off (21.). The Venezuelan forward then won a penalty and converted from the spot to level before the interval (38.).

After the restart he completed his treble, shifting the ball quickly in the area and rifling into the top left (50.), turning 0-2 into a lead.

Andrés Ramírez finished with three attempts, all on target, six touches in the box and six possessions won, a punchy mix of penalty box movement and graft that kept Santa Clara's back line under constant stress.
