Dahir Mohamed made a nice move to avoid the Otter defense, burying a shot past keeper Ian Stumbo less than five minutes into the game. After that, the rest of the half was scoreless, although Willmar dominated possession time and had a definite territorial advantage.
A penalty kick just over six minutes into the second half resulted in the second Willmar goal as Gabriel Rodriguez tucked the ball inside the right post. Just 1:24 later Jemil Osman scored his first of what would be three goals on the night, giving Willmar a 3-0 lead.
A Cardinal corner kick, initiated by Anthony Reyes Jimenez led to the fourth goal off a header by Osman. Hido Martinez Coto scored with 13:24 remaining and Osman completed the hat trick less than a minute later to give the home team a 6-0 advantage. The final goal was an 'own goal' as the ball got away from Stumbo after he made a save and slid into the net.
Fergus Falls will host Bemidji in a 7:00pm game on Thursday.
