FLAT OUT TO SAVE
HO CHEUNG-YAU'S WINNER RAISED THE CHEERS TO A CULMINATING CRESENDO
By I. M. MacTAVISH
A thrilling second half fight back by the Combined Chinese put a generous ration of leing on our Austrian soccer cake at the Club Stadium yesterday afternoon. With the game fast drawing to a close and the score locked at one goal-all, Yiu Cheuk-yin started a fast forward movement.
At just the right mement he pushed the ball up to Au Chi-yfn and the little policeman, while still travelling at top speed, spotted Ho Cheung-yau running into position away to the right of the goal.
