Karvina forward Emmanuel Ayaosi was over the moon after scoring his first senior hat-trick during his team's 4-3 victory over Hradec Kralove in a Chance League match at Městský Stadium on Sunday, November 23.

After Mick van Buren opened the scoring for the visitors, Ayaosi equalised in the 41st minute, put Karviná ahead 3-2 on the hour mark, and completed his first hat-trick in the 87th minute. 

Prior to the matchday 16 encounter, the 21-year-old had found the net just once since the start of the season.

Following the game, Ayaosi could not hide his excitement, admitting that he had never played a better match in his career. 

He dedicated his hat-trick and the team’s triumph to his family in Nigeria, having spoken to his mother on the phone before kickoff and promised to deliver the victory for her.

When asked whether he had played a better match, Ayaosi told Karvina's official website: "This was the best match of my career! 

"It means a lot to me. Before the match, I talked to my mum and told her that I would dedicate any victories to the whole family. And it worked out!"

Ayaosi's hat-trick was sealed thanks to a brilliant assist from his friend and compatriot Lucky Eze, with just three minutes remaining on the clock.

"Working with him is great. As soon as he had the ball, I knew he would pass it to me. I was ready, and all I had to do was finish it accurately," Ayaosi said.

A product of Dakkada FC in Nigeria, Ayaosi began his career with Karvina's U19 team and has since risen through the ranks to establish himself as a first-team regular.
