Soccer-Big guns show no mercy in Estonian Cup goal-fest

June 15 (Reuters) - An incredible 70 goals were scored in three Estonian Cup first- round matches including a truly astonishing 36-0 victory for FC Infonet over Virtsu Jalgpalliklubi.

Top-flight Infonet, based in the capital Tallinn, led non-league Virtsu 13-0 at halftime and netted 23 goals after the interval. Defender Trevor Elhi bagged 10 goals and 11 different players got on the scoresheet.

The result was identical to the highest score in British soccer history when Arbroath overwhelmed Bon Accord 36-0 in a Scottish Cup game in 1885.

Kuressaare crushed Rapla Lokomotiv 20-0 and Trans Narva battered Eestimaa Kasakad 14-0 in other Estonian Cup matches in the past week.
