Mexico's Guadalajara have smashed W Connection of Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 in the group stages of the CONCACAF Champions League.
Marco Fabian scored a second-half hat-trick for the home side as they grabbed their first victory of this season's group stage.
After a goalless first half on Wednesday, Fabian put Guadalajara ahead in the 53rd minute, while Carlos Fierro doubled their lead 11 minutes later.
It was 3-0 in the 64th minute when Fabian finished off Erick Torres' good lead-up work and the Mexican midfielder completed his hat-trick with a goal in the third minute of second-half injury time.
In Toronto, Mexican club Santos Laguna stole a 3-1 victory in the final minutes.
Carlos Quintero scored the opening goal for the Mexicans when he hit the back of the net in the 49th minute.
Toronto equalised in the 68th minute thanks to Quincy Amarikwa and the home side looked to be holding on for a draw until Santos Laguna struck twice late on.
Daniel Luduena stunned the home crowd with a 90th-minute strike and Candido Ramirez made it even worse for Toronto when he made it 3-1 two minutes later.
In the other CONCACAF Champions League match, Costa Rica's Alajuelense defeated Real Esteli of Nicaragua 1-0.
