NO SWEDISH RHAPSODY

Colony loses two-goal lead after bad defensive lapses

By I. M. MacTAVISH

Indeed this was no Swedish rhapsody. The visiting Scandinavian football side, made up of planers from the Norrkoping and Gothenburg Clubs, was very fortunate to scratch out a two- all draw with All-Hongkong in a lustreless match played before a copacity crowd — and a hillside multitude at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday. In doing so they did little to thrill the eager fans.

The tourists were a very ordinary bunch and frankly, after all the

pre-publicity, they were quite a disappointment.

Yesterday, in Macao, the RAF became the first visiting team from Hongkong to win there for the past five seasons when they beat -Macao 2-1.

It must be said, however, that Macao were

fielding only six of their first team. The game produced thrills galore particularly in the late stages. RAF were 10 up at half- time and held their lead until fifteen minutes before the close after surviving two penalty- bullies.
