Lita: Four goals

Leroy Lita ran riot as Reading cruised to a 4-1 victory over Swedish side Trollhatten.

Reading could not break down Trollhatten's defence in the first half but Lita was in inspired form after the break as he scored all four of his side's goals.

The striker found the target after 53, 55, 78 and 90 minutes, while Martin Scherdin netted for the home team just after the hour mark.

On a night for goalscoring heroics, Bristol Rovers forward Josh Klein-Davies emulated Lita and fired his team to a 4-0 success against Swedish opposition.

Klein-Davies netted after 19, 59, 80 and 83 minutes as MABI were put to the sword in Malmo.

Aberdeen opened their tour of Holland with a convincing 5-0 win against DZC 68.

Chris Maguire was the star for the Dons with a first-half hat-trick (13, 22 and 39), while Lee Miller (43) and Jamie Smith (75) also struck.

Elsewhere, Leicester were involved in a 12-goal thriller as they defeated Unibond Division One South outfit Quorn 8-4.

A Sheffield United XI beat local rivals Sheffield 4-0, while Ipswich thumped Tiptree 5-0.

Jordan Rhodes bagged a brace for Jim Magilton's side and Alex Bruce, Jack Ainsley and Billy Clarke also got their names on the scoresheet.

Kaizer Chiefs saw off Orlando Pirates 2-0 in the Vodacom Challenge to set up a final against Manchester United.
