Caen made light work of Valenciennes, running out 4-0 winners in National 1. Fahd El Khoumisti was the architect of the victory, scoring three goals to leave the visitors with no way back.
El Khoumisti put Caen ahead in the 13th minute and doubled the lead just before the break in the 40th. He completed his hat-trick on the hour, and Mohamed Hafid added a fourth in the 84th minute to round off a thoroughly convincing afternoon.
The 4-0 scoreline showed how emphatic the win was, and El Khoumisti's treble was the standout individual display. Valenciennes offered little threat at the other end as Caen took full control from early on.
