Chetri scores a hat-trick

New Delhi: Indian striker Sunil Chetri continued to sparkle for Kansas City Wizards, scoring a hat-trick in the Major League Soccer team's 5-0 win over the University of Evansville in a friendly match at St. Louis, United States.

Chetri, who scored a goal in his debut for the Wizards in a practice game against University of Tulsa on Thursday, struck thrice in his side's 5-0 thrashing of University of Evansville.

In more good news for Chhetri, he has received his P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate approval to become an official member of Kansas City Wizards.

The diminutive Indian scored his first goal of the match with a diving flick-on header off a pass by Graham Zusi who netted Wizards' opening goal.

Chetri then made it 3-0 with a deft finish off a pass from Kyle Brown who broke into the rival box from the right.

The Indian, whose speed off and on the ball has impressed the Wizards management, completed his hat-trick by finishing smoothly from a one-on-one position with the rival goalkeeper. — PTI
