AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup
Chan Shuk Chi’s side will need to beat Myanmar on Sunday to book a ticket to the Finals while Guam are out of the running, having also gone down 9-0 in their opener on Monday.
Hong Kong, China seized control from the starting whistle and found their opener in the eighth minute through Chua Sophia, who latched on to a cross from Liu Sin Huen on the left and steered her header into the centre of the net.
Cheung Ching Yan extended their lead two minutes later when she struck from 30 yards, her rising shot bouncing once and slipping just past keeper Livee Siguenza’s flailing arms.

The custodian conceded for the third time in the 34th minute when an error by defender Shayne Ceserani outside the six-yard box gifted the ball to an unmarked Cheng Siu Ying, who side-footed into the left hand corner.
Chau Tsz Yuet claimed the East Asia side’s fourth in the 42nd minute when she coolly slipped the ball between Siguenza legs before Sophia secured her second with a controlled shot on the dot on half time.
