Hong Kong Women secured a 3-0 victory over Qatar in the Asian Games on 18 September 2026. The result leaves Qatar at the bottom of their group with three defeats from three matches. Hong Kong move to third place with three points from three games.
Both sides have been finding results difficult at this tournament. Qatar have lost all three of their matches so far, while Hong Kong had one win and two losses before this match. The visitors' recent form shows a mix of results — they lost 3-0 to Vietnam and South Korea, but also lost 3-1 and 3-0 in earlier matches.
And here's the thing about these standings: fourth place with zero games and zero points means the season has just started and the table says nothing yet. Qatar's position reflects three heavy defeats, including a 3-0 loss to South Korea yesterday and a 3-0 loss to Vietnam the day before. Hong Kong's three points from one win put them ahead, though they have two losses to their name.
The visitors' recent results show a pattern of narrow margins in defeat. They lost 3-1 to South Korea on 26 August and 3-0 to Japan on 21 August before their tournament losses. By then, the gap between Hong Kong and Qatar was becoming clearer — one side finding a way to win, the other struggling to get off the mark.
With three matches played and only one win available in the group, Hong Kong's victory extends their unbeaten streak to two matches. Qatar face an uphill battle with three defeats and no points. The goal difference will likely prove decisive in the final standings.
