Syria Cup holders Al Jaish trounced National Football League champions East Bengal 3-0 on aggregate to move into the semi-finals of the inaugural AFC Cup football tournament.

The Syrian Army side, who were held to a goalless draw by East Bengal in the first leg in Kolkata last week, made amends in the second leg match at Damascus by romping to a 3-0 win over the Indian club yesterday.

Al Jaish took an early lead through Adel Abdullah who found the net in the 16th minute, heading past Bengal goalkeeper Rajat Ghosh Dastidar.

The change of ends saw Al Jaish growing in confidence as they doubled their lead five minutes after the break with Mohammed Zeino scoring following a fast counter attack. Al Jaish sealed their victory three minutes from the end of the regulation time when Firas Ismail netted his team’s third goal.
