Kitchee remain undefeated as they close gap on falling Pegasus
Champions remain undefeated after they hand big-spending club their latest defeat
Sun Pegasus' hopes of clinching this season's BOCG Premier League title took another hammer blow - this time against rivals Kitchee at Mong Kok Stadium on Saturday.
The big-spending club had looked in sensational form at the start of the season, winning five in a row, but things have gradually gone downhill as they suffered their latest defeat.
Once luck is not on their side [Kitchee], they will lose points and we can resume control in the table
Their disappointing run began early last month with a 3-0 defeat by Eastern. It was followed by a goalless draw with minnows Wofoo Tai Po. They also suffered an early exit in the Senior Shield in a 3-1 defeat by newcomers Wong Tai Sin.
Pegasus still lead the table on 16 points, but defending champions Kitchee, the only unbeaten side in the League, are closing in just three points behind and with three games in hand.
Pegasus coach Ricardo Rambo refused to throw in the towel, saying there is still a long way to go before the season ends.
"They [Kitchee] had a little luck beating us today, scoring the goal because of our defensive lapse in concentration. Once luck is not on their side [Kitchee], they will lose points and we can resume control in the table," said the coach.
