I think you mean a hat-trick. In soccer, when a player scores three goals during a match, he is awarded a 'hat-trick' which in today's game means keeping the match ball. Historically, it was a hat, hence the name. When soccer (Association Football) was in its infancy in England during the 1860s, a hat was a valuable and needed piece of clothing. Two goals in one match is a 'brace', for which their is no reward, except perhaps, contractually.
