Macao.

SURPRISING even their own supporters with their speed and forward combination, the se- lected Macao soccer side shared two goals with the touring Islington Corinthians, in an exhibition match played on the Canidrome ground on Monday afternoon.

Excitement in the second-half set the crowds hysterical, and in the last minute pandemonium reigned when in a spectacular break- through the visiting defence, Collaco, Macao's centre-forward, scor- ed the equalising goal.
