Matt Orr and Sun Ming-him were on target in the 19th and 21st minutes with Philip Chan Siu-kwan adding a third in the 63rd minute and a win or draw against India on Tuesday would seal Hong Kong’s spot in the draw for next year’s tournament, although they could also qualify if they lose depending on the results in the other five qualifying groups.
