Confident South China striker Chan Siu-ki vowed to help his side bring home their first silverware of the season after guiding them to a 2-0 win over Sun Hei in the Canbo Senior Shield semi-finals at Yuen Long Stadium yesterday.

Chan fired his eighth goal of the season when opening the scoring in the first half before teammate Tales Schutz settled matters in the closing stages.

'This is the fifth match in a row that I have scored for South China and I am very happy with my form,' said Chan. 'There is fire in my heart and we fear nobody.'

In the final South China will take on Kitchee - a team they have lost to twice this season - after their rivals beat Pegasus 3-2 in the other semi-final.

'We lost to Sun Hei in the league when we last met, but we beat them today. I am confident we can do the same against Kitchee,' said Chan.

The 24-year-old is enjoying his football, having taken part in a training camp with English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in December, and helping Hong Kong capture team gold medal at the East Asian Games. He is confident of keeping his place in the team even though South China want to acquire more overseas strikers.
