The Chinese youth football team has made it through the knockout
round at the AFC Youth Championships with a 1-0 win over Thailand
on Friday.
Substitute Wang Yongpo, at his third goal in the tournament,
thrashed the ball into the left upper corner of the Thai net in the
78th minute to help China finish perfect in the group which also
includes Australia and UAE.
China had previously won over Australia and UAE 1-0 and 2-1.
In the other game, the ambitious Aussies beat UAE 2-nil to grip
2nd place in the group.
China is to play Jordan in the quarterfinals on Monday while
Australia will clash with tough South Korea.
