Soccer club travels over 8,600 miles to lose 12-0 in the Coupe de France

Traveling often marks the beginning of much rest and relaxation, but for one soccer club from the small island nation of Martinique, that was perhaps not the case in its recent trip to northern France, according to CNN Sports.
Golden Lion FC was drubbed by Ligue 1 club Lille 12-0 in its French Cup match on Saturday, though the subsequent scenes in the Stade Pierre-Mauroy lend credence to the saying, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."
Golden Lion hails from the town of Saint-Joseph in the Caribbean nation with an estimated population of roughly 396,000 people and, as champion of Martinique, was selected into the Coupe de France draw along with several other teams from overseas French territories.
The team began the over 8,600-mile round trip with a direct flight to Paris on Wednesday, according to Reuters, before heading to the northern city of Lille, which sits close to the French-Belgian border.
Golden Lion supporters could be seen throughout the stadium in good spirits ahead of the match, including one trombone player, and the players took to the pitch in earnest.
Lille, however, did not wait long to begin the goalfest, as Yusuf Yazici opened the scoring in the 11th minute. Golden Lion kept the affair relatively competitive until the 25th minute when Les Dogues forward Jonathan David scored his first of the night.
Kosovan winger Edon Zhegrova scored a nine-minute hat-trick in the first half and both David and Yazici added another to make it 7-0 at half-time.
The second half was not much better on the pitch as Les Dogues scored another five goals - including David finishing off his hat-trick - to make it 12-0 at the full-time whistle, Lille's biggest win in club history.
