Twenty-four touches. Three goals. A perfect 10.0 match rating. Pierre-Bertrand Arné needed barely any time on the ball to decide a CONCACAF Nations League fixture that finished 5-0 to Saint Martin against US Virgin Islands.
Efficiency over everything
Arné's involvement in the game was minimal by volume but maximal by result. He registered just one key pass and no assists, meaning his entire offensive output went directly into the net. For a midfielder to convert a hat-trick from so few touches points to a performance built on clinical finishing rather than sustained dominance of possession.
The scoreline itself, 5-0, left little room for ambiguity about which side controlled the match. Saint Martin's attack found its rhythm repeatedly, and Arné was at the center of it every time the ball bounced his way.
A night to remember
Match ratings don't often reach the maximum, but Arné's 10.0 reflects a display where nothing went wrong and everything he touched in the final third turned into a goal. Three goals from a midfielder in a single CONCACAF Nations League match is the kind of night that stands out on its own, no embellishment required.
For US Virgin Islands, conceding five without reply is a result that will sting regardless of who scored them. But for Saint Martin, the story of the match is simple: one midfielder, three goals, and a performance that could not have gone any better.
