(By Spot Kick.)
Monday, April 2, on the Club C Charity Cup, qualified to meet Wales in the Final Round HINA, holders of the "Sunday Herald" International Soccer when they won their tie against Portugal by 5 goals to 2 on the Club ground yesterday.
ground commencing at 3.30 p.m.
After Monday's and yesterday's exhibitions of football by the fina lists one can look forward to whe! will probably prove a fitting climax to the 1933-34 soccer season and one of the outstanding games of the year.
Wales have thoroughly deserved their success, although I must ad- niit. I did not think they would sur vive against England.
They, however, showed them- selves to be masters of the altur tion and have justly earned the right to meet Portugal's successors in the Final.
AFTER a fairly even first half in which China led by 2 goals to 1, the Cup-holders attacked continuously, outplaying Forta gal. A somewhat lucky goal proved the turning point of the game, for, after Portugal had equalised in the second half, the exchanges were fairly even until owing to a misunderstanding be- tween R. Marques and V. Marques a weak shot from Mak Sui Hon was allowed to roll into the net From that period Portugal were penned in their half of the field and compelled to concentrate on defence.
