Taipei-based Tatung yesterday netted two late goals to beat the Royal Blues 2-0, leapfrogging into second place on the Taiwan Premier Football League table, while Taipei’s Ming Chuan University secured their first points of the season with a hard-earned draw against Hang Yuen/Fu Jen University.

Kaohsiung’s Taipower remained in first place with five wins and one draw for 16 points, after their match at Tainan was rescheduled due to rain rendering the pitch unplayable.

In the afternoon match at Fu Jen University in New Taipei City, the hosts took a 1-0 lead into halftime, after forward Wei Mao-ting took advantage of a scramble in the box to slot home at close range in the 14th minute.

Ming Chuan striker Pai Shao-yu dribbled his way through the hosts’ defense to put the equalizer past the goalkeeper in the 57th minute, with the score holding at 1-1 for the draw.    [FULL  STORY]
