Asian Games 2018: what events are going on in Indonesia today? A crunch day for the Hong Kong teams in early action

Basketball

Hong Kong’s women need to bounce back from a heavy beating in their opening 5x5 match against Japan to get their campaign back on track. They’ll have a good chance of doing as much when they meet Mongolia, who are just kicking off their tournament.

The top four from the five-team group qualify for the next stage, so a win will be just the tonic.

Football

Hong Kong’s men are two from two in football, and in some style it has to be noted. A win against group-topping Palestine would secure their passage to the knockout stages. But that’s a tall order for Kenneth Kwok’s side. While they’ve secured victories against Taiwan and Laos, Palestine are a handy side and defeated hosts Indonesia in front of a fervent Jakarta crowd on Tuesday night.

Elsewhere, Hong Kong’s women get their campaign under way with a match against regional heavyweights China. A win would be a most welcome, but unlikely boon and Ricardo Rambo’s team should look to other, more likely sources of points later in the campaign with just a top-three finish required to progress.
