Gonzalo Higuain may  be the best in the world. His performance today was outstanding!
Gonzalo Higuain scored Argentina’s first hat trick at a World Cup in 12 years, leading his team to a 4-1 victory over South Korea on Thursday to steal the spotlight from Lionel Messi.
The forward scored with a header at the far post in the 33rd minute at Soccer City and added goals in the 76th and 80th minutes as Argentina moved to the top of Group B with six points.
Gabriel Batistuta had scored Argentina’s last World Cup hat trick, against Jamaica at the 1998 tournament in France. He also scored three goals against Greece at the 1994 edition in the United States.
The only other Argentine to score a hat trick in a World Cup game was Guillermo Stabile in a 6-3 win over Mexico at the inaugural event in Uruguay in 1930.
