Battle for Victory
A big match is coming up between these two national teams of the Asian Football Confederation. Do not take off and then we share the summary of the last game where these two teams faced each other.
Last showdown!
The last time these two teams met was on February 18, 2006 and on that occasion the game ended in a 2-2 draw. That matchup was full of fouls, yellow cards, corner kicks and many goals that we hope will turn into to repeat today.
History between both teams
India and Hong Kong have met only once. Today will be the first time they meet in an official competition and we hope it will be a great match.

Hong Kong Players to Watch
There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Hong Kong's offense and defense. We start with Matthew Orr (#9), he is one of the best players on the Cambodian national team. The 25-year-old striker is very important for the team and it is very likely that he will score a goal. The next player is Chan Siu Kwan (#16), the 29-year-old midfielder has already scored several times for Hong Kong and his experience will help a lot in the game against India. Finally, striker Ming Him Sun (#23), is one of the youngest players and at only 21 years old he is an important part of the Hong Kong team. He will be responsible for distributing the ball around the court.
Hong Kong
Like India, Hong Kong find themselves in Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup qualifier. They come into the game prepared by not losing either of their two Asian Cup qualifier games. The last match of the Hong Kong team was on June 11, 2022, they played a match against Cambodia, the match was won by Hong Kong 3 to 0. They arrive as the least favorites to win this match, however they could give the surprise and stay with the victory.
India players to watch
The next three players are considered key to India's offensive and defensive attack. First Rahul Bheke (#2) is a Mumbai City FC player, he plays in the defender position and in the 2021-2022 regular season in Indian Super League he scored two goals and 2 assists in 18 games played. It is very likely that we will see him scoring in the match, he was a scorer in India's last friendly match against Bahrain. Next up is Rahim Ali (#11), he plays as a midfielder for Chennaiyin FC, in the Indian Super League he got two goals and two assists. He will be very key in defense to avoid dangerous plays and keep control of the ball. Lastly, Suhair VP (#15) plays as a striker for NorthEast United FC, he had 3 goals and 2 assists in the Indian Super League.
India
India finds itself in group D in qualifying for the 2023 Asian Cup, it will face Hong Kong, Afghanistan and Cambodia in the group stage. All these games will be very even, so India will have to come out focused not to lose any of them. The last match of the Indian national team was on June 11, 2022, they played a match against Afghanistan and India won 2-1. They come as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good moment through which they pass.
