This was a spectacular performance from Adriano who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist in the Carioca championship derby match that ended 5-3 to Flamengo over Fluminense.
The Brazilian striker showed once again the amazing capabilities that he possesses, with such performances that are given by only the greats. Adriano has signed a contract that keeps him at Flamengo until after this summer's World Cup.
When most players of World Cup contending countries are looking to move to selected teams in order to impress and get picked for their countries squads, Adriano decided to stay in Brazil and with these performances it not might make a difference.
