Assam Regimental Centre (ARC), Shillong stormed into the finals of the First All India Anu Anand Cup Prize money Football Tournament defeating Railway Football Club (RFC), Kolkata 2-0 in the first semi-final match here at the Moin-ul-haque stadium today.
RFC, Kolkata dominated the game in the first half creating a couple of clear chances, but Anjay Dey's shot was blocked by ARC keeper Kolauh Puia. A few scoring chance were wasted due to poor finishing.
First half ended goalless 0-0.
After both teams failed to break the deadlock in a barren first half, ARC came back strongly in the second session and pumped two goals.
Striker C Lalmalsawma opened the account in the 47th minute with a nice header after getting a long pass from Alwyn, while R Lalrammawia completed the tally in the 73rd minute, dogging past two defenders in the goal area.
The game witnessed some rough play forcing Referee Kailash Prasad to show a red card to RFC skipper Sukumar Roy in the 85th minute.
