Kevin Molino is an MVP in other places, too.

The Orlando City midfielder had possibly one of the best international games of his career on Wednesday night, picking up a hat trick in the first 24 minutes of the match, then adding an assist minutes later, as his Trinidad and Tobago squad went on to beat the Dominican Republic, 6-1, in a Caribbean Cup matchup.

Molino opened the scoring with a goal three minutes into the game, then added a second less than a minute later to put Trinidad up 2-0. Then about 20 minutes later, Molino completed his hat trick to make it a 3-0 game.

He added his one assist near the end of the first half on a goal by Kenwyme Jones, who also scored a second in the 55th minute, that pushed the score to 4-0.

The 6-1 win put Trinidad and Tobago atop their group with three points, ahead of Antigua/Barbuda on goal difference after they defeated St Lucia 2-1 in the earlier game.

Next up, Molino and Trinidad will meet St Lucia on Friday at 8:15pm.
