Hong Kong edge Chinese Taipei in EAFF qualifier

The SAR's footballers on Saturday evening clinched a 2-1 victory over Chinese Taipei in the final Group B match of the East Asia Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship preliminary competition at Mong Kok Stadium. Star striker Matt Orr scored for the SAR team before half-time, while defender Tsui Wang Kit scored the winning goal in the second half. It was their fifth consecutive victory under new coach Ashley Westwood. Hong Kong, China, will play Guam in the final. Guam had earlier defeated Macau 2-1 in a Group A game on Saturday afternoon. The two will square off on December 17 at Hong Kong Stadium. The winner will advance to the tournament in South Korea next summer to play against the hosts, Japan, and the national team. Those three teams automatically qualify for the final round of the competition.
