RICHMOND, Va ---
Sunday, September 17—A spectacular goal by Lynx defender Milan Kojic at
the 39th. minute in the second leg of a two-game total goals Eastern
Conference semi-final game before 4,027 at Richmond tonight, was enough to
put Toronto into the Eastern Conference final and the last four in the
North American A-League Championship.
Kojic’s first strike of the
season was also one of the most spectacular scored at Richmond this season
as he rushed up field to connect on a corner kick being taken by
midfielder Nikola Vignjevic. The bullet-like header found the roof of the
Richmond net well out of reach of Kickers’ keeper Mike McGinty.
The
Lynx win repeats an identical 1-0 score at Varsity Stadium on Friday night
to give Toronto the semi-final series by a 2-0 aggregate and a berth in
the Eastern Conference Final.
IT’S THE LYNX VS. THE RHINOS ON
FRIDAY
The Lynx will now face the Rochester Raging Rhinos in a
two-game total goals series next weekend, the first game at Varsity
Stadium on Friday, a 7.30 p.m. kickoff and the return match at Rochester
on Sunday, a 6.05 start.
The winner will advance to meet the winner
of the Western Conference series between the Minnesota Thunder and the
Milwaukee Rampage.
The Vancouver 86ers were eliminated in the
semi-final games by Minnesota on a 4-3 total goals aggregate. After taking
a 3-0 win in the first leg, the 86ers collapsed with a 4-0 loss in the
return game at Minnesota.
