Game

This was a tough first game for Mexico. China was trying to shake off its shellacking by Germany. Fortunately for Mexico they scored a quick goa,l and then hung on with China attacking and controlling most of the game. In spite of an overwhelming number corners and shots China was still unable to score more than once against th Mexicans.

Post game quotes

Mexico

Iris Mora

It was a positive result for us in a difficult match. China is a very good team.

Maribel Dominguez

It was a good result for our first game. China played differently than they played against Germany. Next we play Germany which will be another difficult match for us, and an important one that could effect our qualifying to progress.

China

Ji Ting

We were much better defensively than in our first game.Qualification is still open foruour team.
