August 1, 2005 Korea upset
China in East Asia Four-nations Tournament By Jia Ailing The hosts Korea sprung the
first surprise of the East Asia Four-nations Tournament on Monday as An
Jong-Goan's side defeated China 2-0. This is Korea’s first victory
against China in the last 15 years. Defender Li Jie's foul in the
box gave the hosts a real opportunity to break the deadlock, and Korea
took a 1-0 lead in the 41st minute with captain Han Jin-Sook's penalty
kick. Substitute Park Eun-Jung clinched the hosts' victory with her wonderful
heeled goal. "The players looked so
tired," China head coach Pei Encai said after the match, "Some
of the young players felt the pressure and did not play up to their ability." In the other match, DPRK beat
Japan 1-0 with Lee's goal in the 37th minute. China will play their next
match against Japan on August 3rd. China Korea |
