Luiz Adriano hit a record-equalling five goals as Shakhtar Donetsk hammered BATE 7-0 in Borisov on Tuesday night. The Ukrainian champions struggled in their opening two group games, letting slip of a two-goal lead in the final four minutes of their previous match against Porto to draw 2-2.
But there was little danger of that happening in Borisov on Tuesday as they blitzed BATE in the opening 45 minutes and became the first team to score six times in the first half of a Champions League game.
Luiz Adriano plundered a 12-minute hat-trick - the third-fastest in Champions League history - adding a fourth just before the break, after Alex Teixeira had opened the scoring in the 11th minute.
