Tai Po Wins FA Cup 2-1 Against Eastern District; Coach Lee Chi-kin Seeks Overseas Opportunities

Tai Po head coach Lee Chi-kin said he would like to explore opportunities overseas after his team staved off a late Eastern District fightback in their 2-1 FA Cup final success on Saturday. Lee’s side could have been out of sight by half-time but had to settle for a 2-0 lead following a pair of goals from Philip Chan Siu-kwan. Timid and defensive before the break, Eastern District were hugely improved after the restart, and a late penalty from Valentino Yuel left Tai Po to navigate 10 nervous minutes of stoppage time. After leading Tai Po to the second league title in their history last season, Lee has added the FA Cup and Senior Shield this time around. Acknowledging he would lose players this summer, Lee said: “It’s positive for them if they have good offers, but nobody wants to take me. “If there’s a chance out of Hong Kong I want to try. I want to see and learn more, so I am waiting for the opportunity.”
