Hong Kong emerged FIFA ASEAN Challenge Cup champions following a 2-0 defeat of Cambodia in the final on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Orr\u2019s first half strike set the tone with Everton Camargo\u2019s penalty before the hour-mark sealing the win for the East Asian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong, China were the more progressive team from the outset, regularly advancing into dangerous positions, with dynamic winger Everton a persistent threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambodia defended stoutly for much of the opening period, though, displaying determination and spirit while posing a threat on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong, China finally broke through shortly before half-time. Sun Ming Him sent in a cross, which Orr converted with a superb left-footed finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was 2-0 just before the hour-mark. Hong Kong, China were awarded a penalty following a VAR review, for a foul on Philip Chan by Meng Chheng. Everton stepped up to coolly slot home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambodia kept battling hard and had chances to pull a goal back. Soknet Hav headed wide from a corner and fellow substitute Ty Sa shot fractions off target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They continued to commit men forward in the game’s later stages but Hong Kong, China held firm to clinch the victory and the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
