The visitors had a few bad breaks last night several shots glancing off the goal posts to save Ygoa from trouble. La Salle also lost a few fine chances to puncture Tam Kwan's net. After this Alberto Crespo and Bulilit in from the wings, scored. Reyes, wingmen of the La Salle let-up, Hong Kong again took the ball
