Besides Pelé, the only Brazilian players to have scored a hat-trick at the World Cup finals were Leônidas da Silva against Poland in 1938 and Ademir de Menezes against Sweden in 1950. The last Brazilian player to score a hat-trick was Paulinho, who scored three times against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier in 2017.^[3]

Brazil have conceded 9 hat-tricks in their history, half of them in matches against Argentina. the most recent, and undobtedly, the most famous, was scored by Paolo Rossi during the 1982 FIFA World Cup, which eliminated Brazil in that competition.^[4]
