Philippines again represented by Bohemian were weakened by the unavailability
of their captain/coach Manuel Nieto, one of their star players, and replaced
him with Juan Manalac, an 'outsider' from the Aurora club. The South China AA
again represented the visitors, their captain Cheung Wing Hon was ill but
was determined to play. And Nanhua's new goalkeeper, Lau Hing Cheong debuted
allowing Leung Tai Fong to return to his more familiar centre-half position.

Kwok Po Kan]
In one of the best games seen in years, both teams battled equally to score.
On one occasion Lopez dribbled through the Chinese defence to score, only
for the referee to disallow the goal for a foul, despite the fact Lopez's
head was pouring blood. Just before half-time the Philippines scored twice
to lead at the break.

A tough match saw both teams vying for the title before Lopez opened the
scoring around the middle of an exciting 35 minute half. The Chinese took
the initiative in the second period and with clever accurate passing took
control of the game. Montserrat under constant pressure finally cracked when
he threw the ball straight to Kwok Po Kan who promptly equalised. Then with
about a quarter of an hour to go he needlessly charged out of his goal leaving
Wong Pak Chung with an easy chance and he scored the medal-winning goal.
