Feyenoord took on Ajax in a rearranged Eredivisie fixture on Wednesday, with the previous fixture being abandoned due to fans throwing fireworks on the pitch, and later storming the Johan Cruyff Arena. Gimenez was superb in the victory, scoring a treble.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">3 - Santiago Giménez is the first <a href="https://twitter.com/Feyenoord?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Feyenoord</a> player ever to score a hat-trick in an Eredivisie away game at Ajax.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Mexico international scored twice before the 20th minute, and added a fourth on the hour mark following a goal from Igor Paixao. Feyenoord's 4-0 win moved them into third in the Eredivisie, while Ajax continue to languish in 14th; they have only won once this season. Ajax's troubles have opened the door to Gimenez making history, however, as he has become the first player to score an away hat-trick against the club in the league.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Gimenez has been prolific for Feyenoord since arriving in 2022, scoring 32 goals in 52 games for the club. He has also scored four times in 20 caps for Mexico.
