The much-anticipated exhibition match between Hong Kong and International Miami was officially staged at the Hong Kong Stadium on Sunday (4). In the end, the long-awaited Mays and Suarez didn't make it to the pitch, and International Miami still beat Hong Kong 4-1 in front of 38,323 fans.
Hong Kong team sent Yip Hung Fai to be the gatekeeper, Micky and Markos to be in charge of handing out cards, with Ewarton, Aniya and Mingasoff forming the frontline trident; for Miami, the 4 key players, namely, Mays, Suarez, Zodi Ebba and Busquets, were all listed as back-ups, with Mays wearing only ordinary sneakers to the back-up bench.
Hong Kong almost scored in the opening 8 minutes, Mikiel's penalty shot bounced off the crossbar, and then Yedilian's cross from the right was sent over the bar by Cintron. 27 minutes later, Lee Annadu Gambina took a powerful shot which was blocked by Yip Hung Fai.
Towards the end of the first half, Miami arranged for the reserves to warm up, but there was no Messi, and the fans immediately chanted "Messi". 40 minutes later, Robert Tatelei pushed the left side of the ball, and Yip Hung Fai couldn't save the ball, and Miami took the lead. 3 minutes later, Ewarton crossed from the left side of the ball, and Aniyah grasped the opponents not far away from the clearing, and shot the ball into the half with a score of 1 to 1.
Hong Kong changed sides and brought in a number of players such as Poulisson, Encha and Ibrahim, but Miami took the lead again in the 50th minute with Cintron's shot from a cross. 6 minutes later, Miami made it a 3-1 game with a beautifully organized shot from Lee Annandale Gambina, Miami brought in Bouskis and Jordi Abba in the 62nd minute, and the atmosphere in the stadium was even more electric. 85 minutes later, Sina put the icing on the cake to make the game a 4-1 win for Miami. The match ended in a 4-1 victory for Miami. The fans booed in disappointment after the match as Moses and Suarez did not play, chanting "back to water! "REFUND!"
Hong Kong head coach John Anderson and Yip Hung-fai were present at the post-match press conference, and "Fai" believes that the quality of the other players in the Miami team is also very good, so it doesn't prevent him from enjoying the game: "It's a great honor to be able to play in front of so many fans, and even though it's a bit of a shame not to be able to play against the Mexes, the rest of the members of the team in the Miami team are all playing very well, and that's why I'm enjoying this game so much.
"On feeling that the team only had one lesson before the match, the tacit understanding was not enough, he described the performance as not bad: "We played well in the first half, we had a good back-and-forth game with our opponents, but after the change of sides, we were too prone to lose position, which led to the team conceding a few more goals.
