Hong Kong (1) v (5) Argentina
Hong Kong is at the group 2nd playing the first Argentina and therefore a close game is expected.
The game starts with Argentina taking most of the control while Hong Kong is patient in defending. Argentina open the game and scored with almost their first shot from the right. Realising this tactics, the Hong Kong lads start pay attention to the defence and managed to block a few shot from that position later.The goal keeper of Hong Kong also managed to block a few powerful shot from the Argentina.
The striker from Hong Kong Ah Chi attempted a few powerful shot but were either block or saved by the goal keeper. Hong Kong however seems to rely only on one person in making the shot. Argentina scored their second goal, this time on the left, due to some unlucky defending from Hong Kong. Hong Kong seems to lost concentration after their second goal and Argentina can take another opportunity in the middle just seconds after. The first half is 3-0.
The second half starts with Hong Kong taking the very first shot from their own half but was just inches over the bar. Argentina response with also a series of poweful shot but were all tactfully stopped by the Hong Kong goal keeper Ah Kit. The Argentina female player made a few attempts but were again saved. Hong Kong patience finally got their reward as they had a few good pass on the right and then a sudden turn to the right and a Hong Kong player find the goal. They tried to repeat this team work minutes after unforuntately the player miss wide on an open goal. Argentina keep their pace and rythem and slowly they gain back the control and eventually score two more goals.
The final result is 5-1 however the level of play is more closer than the score looks.
