Kitchee are Hong Kong Premier League Champions 2022-2023 After Dramatic Finale
Kitchee are Hong Kong premier league champions 2022-2023 after one of the most dramatic of season finales in the history of Hong Kong football. As league leaders, Kitchee needed a point to be champions while Lee Man needed a win to take the title as they were in second place.
Lee Man took the lead at Mong Kok Stadium via Manuel Bleda in the 9th minute though Mikael Severo equalized via a penalty in the 23rd minute.
Kitchee were reduced to 10 players in the second half and Lee Man took full advantage with Everton Camargo scoring a header in the 73rd minute to seeminly push the title towards Lee Man's corner.
A lapse in concentration saw Kitchee pull level via a header from Andrew Russell. The 'light blues' held on during a frenetic last 15 minutes which saw both teams reduced to 10 players. Kitchee are again HKPL champions after the most dramatic of games.
