Five-star Quique stuns Russia

Wednesday 26th March - Friendly
Riazor, La Coruna

Quique Sánchez incredibly scored all the goals as Spain stunned Russia 5-0 in La Coruna.

Middlesbrough Monsters striker Quique had all the help he could get from namesake Rafael Sánchez, as the London FC midfielder assisted Quique's first three goals, before being taken off before half-time.

Juan Pablo González then retreated the ball the forward and a 60-yard pass was volley home by Quique on the edge of the area for his fourth.

And the 23-year-old became only the fourth player to score five goals in a CSA International when he rounded the Russian keeper Sergei Kristianov three minutes from time.

The blond striker was taken off seconds later and got a standing ovation from the Spanish faithful.
