Hong Kong Soccer Sevens - NUFC make very good start in group stage, as stroll into last eight NUFC
Newcastle United having sent a team over to compete in this weekend’s competition.
The young Magpies, who had won the last two competitions in 2018 and 2019, began the second defence of their title on Saturday morning with a Group C clash against the hosts, Hong Kong Football Club. United’s second group game, against HKFC Captain’s Select, began in bright fashion as winger Amadou Diallo, who joined the Magpies’ youth set-up in October 2022 following a successful trial, opened the scoring inside 24 seconds as James Huntley’s cross was cleared into the 20-year-old’s path, who stabbed the ball home from close-range.
United concluded their Group C campaign with a 2-1 defeat against fellow English side Leicester City, with Diallo sending the Magpies ahead from the penalty spot after being bundled over in the opening minutes, dispatching his spot-kick beyond City goalkeeper Brad Young, before the Foxes equalised before the half-time whistle with a close-range finish.
