Former Liverpool and Atletico Madrid forward Luis Suarez marked his Gremio debut in style by bagging a rapid first-half hat-trick on Tuesday night.
Suarez, 35, joined the Brazilian outfit earlier this month following a stint with his boyhood club Nacional. The veteran forward, who penned a two-year deal following Uruguay's exit from the World Cup last month, netted eight times in 14 outings to fire Nacional to the Uruguayan title last season but was always expected to seek a new challenge once his deal was up.
Gremio also enjoyed a successful campaign last season after earning promotion to Brazil's Serie A - and Suarez' instant impact led them to more glory in the form of the Recopa Gaucha Super Cup.
