Russia's team beats India 11-0 at Beijing SCO Cup

Russia's team defeated India's team 11-0 at the football SCO Cup in Beijing, RIA Novosti's correspondent at the tournament reported.

The Russian participants scored six goals before changing ends and five in the second half. The agency said the match passed without infringements by the players. Its report did not name the scorers.

The tournament opened on October 10 on the Russian embassy's football field in China. Games consist of two ten-minute halves without a break, with teams changing ends. The result concerns the SCO Cup, rather than a national-team match in the standard format.

Teams from Russia, Belarus, Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India and China are participating, alongside a combined SCO team. Russia also had fixtures against China and the organisation's team scheduled for Saturday.

The semifinals and final are scheduled for Sunday. The competition marks SCO's twenty-fifth anniversary.
