Kitchee became the first Hong Kong team ever to reach the AFC Champions League knock-out stage. An injury-time equaliser secured a 2-2 draw on Sunday with Vissel Kobe.
When Yoshinori Muto scored in the 87th minute to put Vissel 2-1 ahead, Kichee’s chance of progressing looked remote. But as they have done throughout the tournament Kitchee dug deep and Raul Baena scored with a header in the 91st minute to earn the point needed to progress.

Twenty-year-old Gloria Ha won a silver medal in the women’s singles at the inaugural World Bowls Indoor Championships – after the merging of World Bowls’ (WB) and the International Indoor Bowls Council’s (IIBC) flagship events – in Bristol.
Ha topped the round-robin group stage and defeated Ireland’s
Lara Reaney in the first knockout round. She went on to face former World
Champion Alison Merrien from Guernsey in the quarter-final and needed an extra end victory to get through to the semi-final, where she defeated another Irish player Sandra Bailie comfortably at 10:3, 10:5.
In the final Ha faced Scotland’s Julie Forrest and struggled against some fine draw play and was never really in the match losing 9:4, 10:2.
In the men’s singles, Arthur Lam finished as runner-up in his group but lost in the first knockout round to Ian Merrien.
In the mixed pairs, Lam and Ha won two matches to finish second in their group, narrowly missing out on the quarter-finals.
