AZ Alkmaar 7-0 Dundee Utd (agg 7-1)
Currently the joint-worst result in Scottish European history, level with Hibs' 7-0 defeat to Malmo and Celtic's 7-0 loss to Barcelona.
Mayckel Lahdo
There's the seventh.
Mayckel Lahdo has so much space on the left of the box to step onto the ball and drill a finish low into the far corner.
Still 15 minutes to play. Yikes.

Calum Macdonald
BBC Scotland in Alkmaar
I was surprised at half-time when the Dundee United fans showed no intention of leaving, despite being 5-0 down.
The sixth however has broken that resolve with a few hundred heading for the exits, and to be honest, who could blame them?
They'll soon be back in Amsterdam doing their best to forget this performance.
