In the 19th minute of the match, Huang Haojun made a lob pass, and Joelinson received the ball and broke into the penalty area and shot the ball into the goal, helping the Hong Kong team take the lead 1-0.
In the 50th minute of the second half, Ugarte passed the ball from the top of the penalty area, and Obi Martin got the ball and pushed it past the defense to help Manchester United tie the score at 1-1.

Talking about the performance of young players, Manchester United coach Amorim said, "I like this group of young players very much. I think Thwaites played very well in the last 15 minutes. As a midfielder, he is eager to play, no matter how much playing time. These young players are very important to us, and they will get room for development in the team."
"It was great that Obi Martin scored two goals but he needs to keep working hard because the Premier League is a completely different world. We need to improve as a whole but I'm really happy with the youngsters. Aiden Haven is proving in every game that he is an option but he certainly has room for improvement."
In addition, Amorim also emphasized, "We must teach these young players well and let them know that it is extremely difficult to maintain a high level if they want to become Manchester United players. They are just starting now and need to continue to work hard."
"I'm ready for the new season. We have a lot to do and a lot of preparation. We have to think about the construction of the squad and everything has to be ready for the new season."
