Delcroix hat-trick leads Lugano; Casimir loaned to Dynamo Moscow

Hannes Delcroix is the story of this cycle. The FC Lugano defender scored a stunning hat-trick — all three goals coming between the 35th minute and the final whistle, per Livescore — as the Swiss Super League leaders maintain a commanding cushion atop the table, averaging three goals per game this season. Lugano's next fixture is a home date against mid-table FC Luzern on October 10. Delcroix's form is a marked contrast to his World Cup summer, where he started Haiti's group-stage exit.

The other headline: Josué Casimir has left AJ Auxerre on a season-long loan to FK Dynamo Moscow, with an option to buy, confirmed by AJ Auxerre's official Twitter account on 10 September and corroborated by Footmercato and Le Nouvelliste. His last Ligue 1 appearance for Auxerre came on 4 September, a 3-1 defeat to Lyon.

Elsewhere in the squad: Don Deedson Louicius has departed FC Dallas for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard (Ligue 2), per MLS Soccer. Martin Expérience has joined FCV Dender EH in Belgium's Challenger Pro League, per Transfermarkt, having left AS Nancy. Wilson Isidor came off the bench for Sunderland in the Premier League, rated 6/10 by BBC Sport. Philadelphia Union's Danley Jean-Jacques earned a yellow card in a 4-3 MLS win at Sporting KC on 19 September, remaining a key starter.
