Three goals in opening nine minutes lead to 91原创 rout

Ethan Kano-McGregor scored the first three goals and then Mattias Jahn made it 4-0,

Kano-McGregor and Wyatt Gilbert added second-half scores.

鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 surprise me, by the results we have had this year,鈥 Howey said about his team鈥檚 convincing victory. 鈥淚 was a little bit more surprised since it was a Cup semifinal (game).鈥
