5 different players scored in the first half as Kitchee earned 3 massive points in the Premier League, defeating Kowloon City 5-0 at Shum Shui Po Sports Ground on Sunday (November 24).
The goal-fest began in the 13th minute when Ruslan Mingazov set up Brazilian striker Welthon from the cross to head home for the opener. Kitchee took a two-goal lead just 6 minutes later when Aarón Rey’s cross turned to be a goal for his side. Poon Pui Hin, who started this match, took a pass from Júnior in the 28th minute and scored his third goal of the season, sending a right-footed shot in the box to the bottom right corner. Mingazov also added his name to the scoresheet 2 minutes later before Júnior capped the scoring for Kitchee, and that’s just 10 minutes before the half.
Kitchee made a few changes in the second half due to Mingazov’s first half dismiss, but that didn’t prevent them from adding more goals, but the attempts were all denied by Yuen Ho Chun. Fynn Talley finished with multiple incredible saves to earn a clean sheet, in which Kitchee were also had a penalty overturned following a VAR check in the closing stage.
