The Brighton side was down 3-0 by half time, spiralling into a 7-0 defeat by the final whistle.
Manager Fabian Hurzeler admitted it was his lowest moment as a manager.
He said: "It is not easy but we have to apologise for this result, to our supporters.
“They spend a lot of time and money supporting us and they are very disappointed about the result and therefore we just can apologise.”
