Fresh from their success over Russia on Saturday, the English mini-soccer team played at top form to defeat the highly favoured Portuguese by 3-0. What made the victory sweeter was the fact that the Portuguese fielded their strongest team, with such players as H. Collaco and V. Sousa reappearing on the line up.
The English team was very well-balanced and both the defence and the attacking department worked with precision, while Morris in the goal displayed anticipation rarely seen on Shanghai fields, Jimmy Ward, who substituted for Parr in the second half, scored two goals after England was leading by 1-0 at half-time. The Portuguese played a good game, too, but they were faced with a defence which broke all their attacks, England:—Morris, Arnold, Harrison Jelly, Parr (J. Ward), Kinsella, Portugal:—M.
Souza, A. Collaco, J.
Remedios Remedios), V. Sousa, T Remedios (J. Reh, H. Collaco,' R. Favacho.
The Portuguese attacked right from the whistle and for some time had England fighting furiously back. I Remedios centred a beauty only to see Collaco boot the ball well over the goal. Morris drew applause a minutes later when Favacho, receiving the ball from Remedios, directed a shot from point blank range, but the English goalie effected a marvelous save at the expense of a fruitless corner, The Portuguese kept the ball in English territory, but the fine goal keeping of Morris kept them at bay. l TAXE TTE
