Taiwan ties Guam

With a last gap effort (more like efforts), the Chinese Taipei football team tied Guam in the 92 minute of play 1-1. Chinese Taipei had numerous opportunities to score first as Chen Po-liang missed a penalty kick. Aiming for the upper right corner, he had the goal keeper beat but the ball sailed too high. Guam would score in the 67th minute with a volley. Guam would nearly score again in the 79th minute but a diving save quelled the threat.
Things got interesting as Chinese Taipei pushed for the equalizing goal. Down to probably their last chance, Lo Chih-an was slotted a pass in the midfield and struck a shot at the edge of the penalty box. Unfortunately it went straight to keeper who blocked it with two hands. The rebound was picked up by Chen Po-liang who passed down the right flank to Chan Che-Yuan whose shot went off the crossbar. The ball went up and fell luckily to where Lo Chih-an was standing. Lo Chih-an calmly headed the ball in for the equaliser.
