Fabian Ruiz rounded off the historic opening quarter of an hour with a clinical strike.
Fabian Ruiz struck again early in the second half to make it 5-0 with a composed finish. Seventeen-year-old substitute David Boly completed the rout by scoring his first senior goal on his debut. The visitors displayed immense attacking depth despite missing several key players through injuries.
Dominant European Campaign Continues
