Overview

[edit]

The fifth edition of the Quaid-e-Azam International Football Tournament was held at the Railway Stadium in Lahore from 15 to 24 September 1987. Teams from Bangladesh, China, Maldives and Nepal participated, alongside four Pakistani teams.[5] Pakistan Greens captained by Sharafat Ali was the A team,[6] while Pakistan Whites captained by Ghulam Sarwar Teddy was the B team. Pakistan Blues and Yellows were the youth teams. Guagzhou and possibly Victory Sports Club represented China and Maldives, while the Nepali team was not the full national team, which was playing the Olympics Qualifiers. The status of the Bangladesh team is not clear.[2]

Guangzhou secured a place in the final after defeating Bangladesh 2–0 in the semifinal. In the third-place match, Pakistan Greens were awarded the bronze medal after Bangladesh forfeited the contest by request of the Bangladesh delegation, which resulted in Pakistan Greens winning the third place.[2]

The final match featured Guangzhou against Pakistan Whites, with Guangzhou emerging victorious with a 3–1 win. The Chinese team took an early lead in the 12th minute through a goal by Li Chaobo, assisted by Jiang Guliang. Pakistan Whites equalised shortly after via inside-left Anees, who converted a free kick from the right flank. However, Guangzhou regained the lead with a headed goal by Ma Jianqiang, who also scored again before halftime, giving Guangzhou a 3–1 advantage at the break.[2][5]
