Ghanaian striker Said Ahmed scored a hat-trick for Croatian top-flight Hajduk Split as they defeated Rudes 4-0 in their league match over the weekend.

Ahmed scored the first goal for his side in the 11th minute after placing a low shot into the bottom right corner of the goal post in a one-one situation with the Rudes' goalkeeper.

Hajduk Split gained a two-man advantage after Rudes were left with nine men, following two red consecutive red cards.

Ahmed tripled the team's lead in the 45th minute by tapping a loose ball into an empty goalpost after the Rudes goalkeeper punched a low shot right in the Ghanaian striker's direction.

He secured his hat-trick in the 58th minute after managing to get the back of the net after a scramble for the ball in the Rudes' 18 yard box.
