Note: While the Philippines were ranked second, this is debatable, since they withdrew after causing a brawl that led to the abandonment of their match against China.
At least one milestone was reached, aside from the record scoreline made in this match: Haruyoshi Fujii became Japan's first goalscorer in an international competitive football match by scoring Japan's two goals.[3]
The match was abandoned in the 55th minute with China leading 3–0. After Cheung had scored China's third goal from a penalty, the Filipino goalkeeper punched Cheung in the face, sparking a brawl which was broken up by match officials and police: consequently, the Philippines had several players (including the goalkeeper) sent off, and withdrew from the tournament.[1]
