MEXICO CITY, April 11 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela international striker Salomon Rondon netted a hat-trick as Pachuca recovered from a goal down to record a 5-3 victory at Necaxa in a frenetic Liga MX clash on Friday.

Rondon scored either side of Pavel Perez's 32nd-minute strike but the hosts went ahead following goals from Diego de Buen and Perez again.

Pachuca equalized through teenager Elias Montiel before Arturo Gonzalez and then Rondon secured their team's eighth win of the campaign.

The result leaves Pachuca fourth in the 18-team Liga MX standings with 27 points, ahead of Necaxa on goal difference.

Defending champion Club America leads the competition with 30 points, clear of second-placed Toluca on goal difference, with Cruz Azul third, two points further back. Enditem
