Ward Misses

By no means discouraged, the ASF. pulled together and started to raid Chinese territory. Segalen did well in giving the forwards valuable support. Ward took a shot from sixteen yards out but missed. Afterwards Richard also attempted a shot which hit one of the defenders for an abortive corner.

Breaking away in the 25th minute, Fishman mis kicked to enable Chia to car through. The winger passed to/Tai who gave the ball back to Chia as the latter cut in towards the centre inside the back area. Boissezon ran forward but Chia smartly lodged the shot in the corner of the K. net.

Shortly before half-time Tai and Chia again started a fine move. The winger put avera centre shoulder high. Tai missed it but Vu was on the spot to convert and gave Tung Hwa a 3-goal lead which was maintained until the finish.

The pace of the game slackened in the second period. Both sides made several substitutions and each team missed chances through poor marksmanship.
