STRONGLY
China Fully Extended To Win International Soccer Match 2-1
(By "Rox")
THE MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY of Portugal's team which was a mixture of surprise and delight to the huge crowd of enthusiatic spectators at Sookunpoo yesterday, should have resulted in a victory over China.
They very nearly turned the tables on their confident opponents. China's team was composed of all first division players, mostly selected from South China, and were used to each other's type of play as opposed to what may be termed a scratch team which included several third division players, but it took them all their time to manage an almost gift win by the score of two goals to
