Lee Wai Tong, now an established star scored twice as China seemed more
interested in the big match against the Philippines.

A crowd of 30,000 witnessed this deciding game, China was without
injured centre-forward Wong Pak-Chung who was replaced by Pang Hua Hing.
Some Philippines fans in the stadium held up a card saying 'beware China's
inside-left (Lee Wai Tong)'. Good advice, but not adhered to;
the 20-year-old scored a hattrick and set up Pang Hua Hing's goal.
The Philippines goal came from a penalty 10 minutes into the second-half.
Another reason offered up was that the Bohemian club, the Champions of
the Philippines, disagreed with the inclusion of players from other clubs
and prefered not to pass to them, This prompted Lee Wai Tong to
say 'Philippines have better individual players than China, but we
are a better team'. This was Philippines legend Joaquin Lopez' last
tournament having played in all previous occasions
