Kuwait crush Hong Kong 4-0 in 2006 World Cup qualifier (Xinhua) Updated: 2004-06-11 14:27
Hosts Kuwait easily downed Hong Kong 4-0 in a Group D Asian World Cup
qualifying match at the Friendship and Peace Stadium Wednesday night.
Played in sweltering 42-degree heat, Kuwait dished out attacking soccer and
constantly raided the rival citadel but had to wait until the 12th minute of the
first half when Hussein Taraj scored first goal.
Badr Muttawa followed
him with a neat header in the 37th. The first half ended 3-0 with a last minute
goal by Musaed Nida. After resumption, Kuwait forged ahead when striker Khalaf
Salama found the mark.
Kuwait now have six points in Group D, trailing China who has nine points
after a 4-0 win over Malaysia earlier. Hong Kong has three and Malaysia has no
point.
