Sports Briefing | Soccer: Hat Trick Propels Schalke to Victory

Franco Di Santo claimed a 17-minute hat trick as Schalke beat Asteras Tripoli, 4-0, in the Europa League, while Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Tottenham, Ajax and Celtic were held to draws.

Di Santo completed his feat with a penalty before halftime, and Klaas Jan Huntelaar rounded off the scoring in the 84th minute with his 49th goal in UEFA competitions, as Schalke took charge of Group K with seven goals scored and none conceded in two games.

u25a0 Jordan Morris scored two goals, the second off a steal and feed from Wil Trapp, to give the United States a 3-1 victory over Canada in Kansas City, Kan.
