Lam’s Kitchee SC squad beat rival South China AA 2-0 Sunday in the second leg of their FA Cup semifinal. The Kitchee win came three weeks after the teams drew 1-1 in the first leg.Lam played an hour in Sunday’s win, which was decided by two late goals from substitute Yago Gonzalez Lopez. The Sunday match marked the third time since April 7 that the two top rivals in Hong Kong soccer have met.They began with a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the FA Cup semifinal. But, the next week, in league play, South China AA smashed Kitchee by a 4-1 count. In that game, ex-Toronto Lynx Michael Luk remained on the bench, while Lam, a former FC Edmonton midfielder, played 56 minutes, leaving when Kitchee trailed 1-0.That league win basically salted away a top-of-the-table finish for South China. But, on Sunday, Lam and Luk both started for their respective teams — and Kitchee got a measure of revenge against its rival.
