The match was preceded by goalkeeper Yapp Hung-fai being honoured as the first Hong Kong player to make 100 national team appearances.

The custodian didn't have much to do after that as Hong Kong took charge of the tie at the Mong Kok Stadium.

Everton Camargo opened the scoring in the 24th minute with Wong Wai doubling their advantage 11 minutes.

Nicholas Benavides made sure of the points in the 60th minute and Hong Kong will now focus on Chinese Taipei.

The group winners will advance to a showdown with the top side from Group A, which is a two-team affair following the withdrawal of DPR Korea, with Macau to meet Guam on Wednesday.
