Marsch, who became the first American-born coach to win a major European trophy by guiding Salzburg to a Austrian Cup victory May 29, moved a step closer to the Austrian double Sunday. Buoyed by a Patson Daka hat trick, Salzburg raced out to a four-goal lead before halftime and cruised to a 6-0 road triumph.

Salzburg moved seven points clear of second-place Wolfsberger with eight games remaining.
