Displaying better stamina and being favoured with breaks. the Russian Regiment eliminated the Union Football Club in the replay of the semifinals of the Tsz Ling Cup at the Aurora University ground on Avenue Dubail yesterday afternoon when the Russians garnered three points in succession in the extra periods to emerge triumphant on the long end of the 5-2 count.
At the expiration of full 90 minutes the score stood deadlocked at two all, though the miskicking by F. Loh of a penalty kick in the last minute robbed the Chinese side of the right to go into the final rourd. In the first extra 15 minutes the Russians gained the leading point through a 12 yard spot kick well taken by Hulu: gurieff, while in the second half of the extension Sokoloff banged in two goals in a row to sew up the contest.
