Hat-tricks

Since the first official tournament in 1956, 2 hat-tricks have been scored in over 20 matches of the 3 editions of the tournament. The first hat-trick was scored by José Sanfilippo of Argentina, during a Clásico del Río de la Plata against Uruguay on 17 August 1960; and the last was by Héctor Scotta, who netted a hat-trick for Argentina, but this time against Paraguay in a 3-2 win on 25 February 1976.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/atlantico.html#76det Copa del Atlántico - Match details] by José Luis Pierrend
