Balelo's hat-trick in Paredes victory
12 Jan 2026
Five goals in the last two games. Balelo is having the best moment of the season and is leading Paredes towards the Liga 3 championship qualifying phase.
The striker scored a hat-trick against Marco, being the star of the 3-0 victory that leaves Paredes in third place in the standings, tied with Fafe, Vitória SC B and SC Braga B. Varzim is right behind with one point less.
Balelo opened the scoring with a brilliant goal, chipping the goalkeeper, before the 10-minute mark, and scored twice in the first half with a well-placed shot from the edge of the area. It was with a header, in the second half, that he made it 3-0, propelling Paredes under Tarantini towards their dream of promotion.
Vasco Rocha was among the options, but did not leave the bench.
