On Tuesday (February 3rd) at Tsing Yi Northeast Park, HKFC ran riot in the Jockey Club Women Youth Football League (U18), demolishing TSL FC 6:1 with a clinical hat-trick from Duvernay Talia Lena Sarah to claim all three points.

The opening exchanges saw both sides cagey in possession with clear-cut chances at a premium. Once HKFC settled into their rhythm, they began to dictate proceedings, with Yuen Lok Tsang Lucy forcing the issue in the final third—testing the goalkeeper and firing narrowly wide in quick succession. The breakthrough arrived in the 18th minute through a moment of individual brilliance. Duvernay Talia Lena Sarah latched onto a delivery from the left flank, turned her marker on the edge of the area, and bent a sublime left-footed effort into the far corner to hand HKFC the lead. Three minutes later, HKFC carved out another gilt-edged opportunity. Hulbert Katie Jane latched onto Moi Lei Ngai's incisive through ball and raced clear, only to see her effort from an acute angle smothered by the alert Li Sze Yan.

HKFC doubled their advantage in the 24th minute. Hulbert Katie Jane whipped in a dangerous cross from the right wing, and Cheng Reina Ming Yee was on hand at the back post to apply the finishing touch, making it 2:0. Barely a minute elapsed before HKFC struck again. Moi Lei Ngai skinned her marker down the right channel before cutting the ball back to the edge of the box, where Duvernay Talia Lena Sarah rifled home a first-time thunderbolt to make it 3:0. The in-form Hulbert Katie Jane added her name to the scoresheet in the 30th minute, driving at the heart of the defense before delicately lifting the ball over the advancing keeper under pressure to make it 4:0. Despite being comfortably ahead, HKFC continued to probe. Yuen Lok Tsang Lucy rounded off a dominant first-half display by coolly slotting home from a one-on-one on the stroke of halftime. HKFC went into the interval with a commanding 5:0 cushion.

TSL FC emerged with renewed intent after the restart and grabbed a consolation goal within a minute of the restart. A corner kick sparked chaos in the box, and Kwok Sin Tung managed to lift a narrow-angle effort into the net to make it 1:5. HKFC quickly reasserted their dominance. In the 65th minute, Yuen Lok Tsang Lucy broke through on goal but was denied by an excellent save from Li Sze Yan, who rushed off her line to narrow the angle. Five minutes later, HKFC's relentless pressing forced a turnover in a dangerous area. Cheng Reina Ming Yee pounced on the loose ball and fizzed a cross into the mixer from the right, but Yuen Lok Tsang Lucy's connection lacked precision and flew off target. HKFC finally restored their five-goal cushion in the 78th minute. A goalmouth scrambled fell kindly for Duvernay Talia Lena Sarah, who bundled the ball over the line from close range to complete her treble and make it 6:1.

The final whistle confirmed a comprehensive 6:1 triumph for HKFC over TSL FC, sealing a dominant three-point haul.
