Imagine watching your team concede a goal every two and a half minutes.
That
was the harsh reality faced by Virtsu Jalgpalliklubi -- a team from a
town of just 500 people -- when they went up against FC Infonet on
Saturday.
However bad you think it gets for your
team, spare a thought for the fans of the Estonian minnows who witnessed
their first division opponents hand out a 36-0 hammering in the Estonia
Cup on Saturday.
Already 13-0 up at
half time, far from easing off and sparing their opponent's blushes, FC
Infonet went on a 23-goal second half scoring spree to inflict a
record-breaking defeat in front of a less-than sell-out crowd of 83.The previous record was set in 1998-99 season when Narva Trans beat Valga Warriors 25-0.
Trevor Elhi scored an incredible 10 goals and is surely now a shoo-in for the Estonia Cup Golden Boot.
In
what will be scant consolation to Virtsu Jalgpalliklubi, it wasn't the
only team to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of a more elite
rival in the weekend's fixtures.
Kuressaare beat Rapla Lokomotiv 20-0 and Eestimaa Kasakad lost 14-0 to Trans Narva.
