Dinamo Zagreb 1-5 SV Salzburg

Jonathan Soriano hit a hat-trick as Salzburg roared into the Europa League knockout stage with a 5-1 demolition of Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.The Austrians scored four times in the second half, stamping out any hope of a Dinamo comeback after the hosts had briefly made it 2-1.Soriano had the visitors in front at half-time and Kevin Kampl made it two soon after the break.Angelo Henriquez pulled one back a minute later, only for Soriano to scored Salzburg's third four minutes after that.And the away side showed no mercy with further goals from Massimo Bruno and Soriano to run out emphatic winners in the Group D clash.Dinamo were well aware of Salzburg's attacking potential, having lost 4-2 in the return fixture two weeks ago, on that occasion Alan grabbing a hat-trick.The Austrians threatened early this time, Marcel Sabitzer bringing a block out of goalkeeper Eduardo.At the other end Peter Gulacsi had to parry a long-range attempt from Marcelo Brozovic before Soriano opened the scoring.The Spanish striker fired Naby Keita's ball in from the right high into the net in the 40th minute.Kampl doubled the lead in the 59th minute when he smashed home a rebound after the ball had come back off a post.Within a minute the hosts were back in it, Henriquez drilling into the top corner from 18 yards.The home defence simply could not deal with the threat of Soriano, though.He raced through and chipped the ball over Eduardo to restore the visitors' two-goal lead before Bruno volleyed number four into the bottom corner in the 72nd minute.And Soriano completed his treble, and the rout, five minutes from time with a well-placed low shot inside the near post from the edge of the area.ends
