A first-half goal from Pape Sarr ensured the final pre-season game of our Asia Tour ended in defeat.
The only goal of this historic derby in Hong Kong came when the referee played on, even though Myles Lewis-Skelly appeared to be clipped from behind. Sarr took advantage to score from long-range.
Viktor Gyokeres came on to a rapturous reception late on as we looked for the equaliser, but despite our pressure, the goal wouldn’t come.
