In the spotlight, Hong Kong's clash with the international Miami team began on Sunday (4) at the Hong Kong Stadium. Despite the absence of the much-anticipated Moses and Luis Suarez, the Miami team defeated the Hong Kong team by a score of 4-1 in front of a crowd of 38,323 spectators.
On the Hong Kong side, Yip Hung Fai defended the goal, Micky and Markus were in charge of ball control, with Ewarton, Anya and Mingasoff forming the frontline trident; on the Miami side, the four star players of Mays, Suarez, Zodi Ebba and Bouskis were on the bench, with Mays even appearing on the bench in casual shoes.
Hong Kong came close to breaking through in the first eight minutes of the match, with Mikiel's penalty kick hitting the crossbar, followed by Yedilien's cross from the right and Sintra's header going over the crossbar. In the 27th minute, Lee Annadu Gambina's shot was cleared off the line by Yip Hung Fai.
Towards the end of the first half, Miami started to warm up their substitutes, but Messi didn't come on the field, and the crowd immediately rang out the call of "Messi". In the 40th minute, Robataille sent a precise cross from the left side of the field, which Yip Hung Fai could not do anything about, and Miami took the lead. 3 minutes later, Ewarton crossed the ball from the left side of the field, and Aniyah seized the opportunity to equalize the score to 1-1.
In the second half, Hong Kong substitutes Paolichon, Encha and Ibrahim, but Miami took the lead again in the 50th minute when Sintra scored from a cross. 6 minutes later, Miami made it 3-1 when Lee Anadol Gambina scored through a great play. Miami substitutes Busquets and Zodi Ebba in the 62nd minute, and the atmosphere was at a climax. Sinakin scored twice in the 85th minute to make the score 4-1 in favor of Miami. With neither Mays nor Suarez on the pitch, fans expressed their disappointment after the match, chanting "REFUND!" and "refund!"
Hong Kong head coach John Anderson and goalkeeper Yip Hung Fai attended the post-match press conference together. "Fai" thought that the other players of Miami were also very good and said: "It was a great honor to play in front of so many fans, although it was a bit regrettable that I couldn't play against Mays, the other players of Miami played very well and made me enjoy the game. It was a great honor to play in front of so many fans, and although I'm sorry that I couldn't play against Meis, I enjoyed the game because the rest of the players from Maia Mi did a great job."
On the other hand, "An Shuai" thinks that the team only trained once before the game, the tacit understanding is naturally lacking, but he is not disappointed with the team's performance: "We played well in the first half, and the opponent played back and forth, but in the second half we are prone to lose position, which led to the team's loss of the ball.
