Watching a Football match Part I

I am a typical football fan. It goes with out saying that I would not miss the opportunity to watch the first leg of the two-leg Interport between Guangdong and Hongkong.

When three o’clock was due, I switched on my television set. The Guangdong People’s stadium was exposed to view on the screen. No sooner had the whistle been blwon than the match started. Guangdong, fielding five of the national players, gabe free play to their quick tactics. In the fourth minute, Ku Kwongming made his first shot but it was taken by Hingking goalkeeper Chu Kwok-kuen. In the tenth minute, Rong Zhihang, laying in ambush in front of the goal, got a pass from Ng YUkwah and headed the ball staight into the hands of goalkeeper Chu. Two minutes later, Ku Kwongming easily beat Hongkong’s Chan Saikau and crossed for WOng Kwunwai who kneed past the goal mouth from six yards out. By now Hongkong were under heavy pressure and with the ball being swung dangerously into the penalty area, it looked only a matter of time that a goal would be scored.
