Virgili treble gets Kitchee back on track

Spanish striker Albert Virgili scored his first hat-trick for Kitchee as they returned to form with a 5-0 win over Tuen Mun Progoal in the BMA First Division at Tsing Yi Sports Ground yesterday. The title-chasers were held by newly-promoted Tai Chung to a surprising 1-1 draw in the previous match, but made no mistake against minnows Progoal, who had only 14 players available, to go up to second spot. 'We have signed four additional players and hopefully they can be cleared to play as soon as possible,' said Progoal boss Yam Wai-hung.
