[Sport] How do you say 4 goals?
If a soccer player scores
- two goals, he makes a double.
- three goals, he makes an hat trick.
But if your your forward scores four or five goals, what would you say? Does a specific words exist for these situations?
In Italy we use poker/quartina for four goals and pokerissimo/cinquina for five.

"A hat trick" is a cricketing term which other sports have borrowed. Useful to know.

In English, he does not score a double. He scores two. A hat trick is correct! Good job. There is no other name or specific phrase for any other number of goals. I know because i play soccer(futbol)
Hope this helps.
