Stortap, ydmykende nederlag
Enig i kommentarene til Henriksen, men selve det foreslåtte måltermen er det vel ingen som bruker. Jeg er enig i at det beste i dette tilfellet er å skrive om setningen. For ordboken kan "ydmykende nederlag", "stortap" være kandidater. I sportskommentatorspråk er den tilhørende verbkonstruksjonen "å gå på...", som f eks "nederykningskandidaten Rosenborg gikk på nok et stortap i helgen".

mørbanking
Dette er et slang-uttrykk, så du står ganske fritt til å velge noe som passer. Forslag: "..ble rundjult 18-0", "mørbanket 18-0", "..knust 18-0"
Green's "Cassel's dictionary of slang" definerer shellacking som "a severe beating or defeat"

Jeg liker også Franks forslag - dette er bare et annet alternativ.
