Many will attribute the injuries to robust tackling, but there appeared to be a feeling of animosity between the teams. Wong Wah-gay, the South China goalkeeper, lost two teeth as a result of a kick in the face, while both Leung In-chan and Wong Mei-shun are suffering from leg injuries. Knight, the Army outside-left, tore a shoulder muscle in a rough charge, while Campbell, the Army pivot, was kicked in the chest late in the game.

There were only one or two. Lee Wai-tong was brought down in bright patches in the game, the the penalty area by a foul charge Army team being much better from behind, and Fung equalised than their opponents, who miss-from the "spot-kick" Soon after, ed the services of Tam Kong-however, a penalty was awarded pak, at left-back, and of Lee the Army for a push by Tong Kwok-wai, at left-half.
