Hrvojevic makes history in Armada’s final home win

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For the first time in Jacksonville Armada history, a player has found the back of the net four times in a single game, with Markie Hrvojevic achieving the feat in a 6-0 win over FC Florida on the campus of Edward Waters University.

Fresh off a scoreless draw, the Boys in Blue were ready to score some goals early and often in their regular-season home finale, with Tiago Barriguinha opening the scoring just three minutes into the National Premier Soccer League matchup.

Then Hrvojevic went to work with goals in the 18th, 19th, and 27th minutes to complete his hat trick. After Sebastian Zettl made it 5-0 in the 36th minute, Hrvojevic took advantage of a turnover on the restart and calmly sent the ball flying from 40 yards out and into the back of the net.
