It was a day to remember for Sacha Kljestan (@SachaKljestan) as the midfielder netted a hat-trick, his first three senior goals.

17’
The first was a free-kick from distance. 😱 


40’
The second was from the spot.


74’
The third was the best of the lot.

Ching does soooooo well to bring down this long pass over the top.

He also has the sense to lay it into Kljestan’s path for the cool finish.

Hat-trick.
