Following a draw between Japan and Korea, we now head into the second fixture of the day between China and Thailand. The match will begin shortly, let’s get ready for the action.
The players take the field with their escorts, meeting officials before the game begins. The national anthems will follow, starting with Thailand’s and then China’s.

China have dominated the match from the start, scoring two early goals: the first by Xu Yanan at 10:40, followed by Ma Xiaoyan at 08:45. They’re controlling the midfield, seizing opportunities, and making effective circle entries.
Thailand are adjusting their style of play, but China continue to breach the circle repeatedly. Despite the pressure, Thailand’s players remain unfazed, changing their approach, though China still keep them under control. Thailand are holding onto the ball for extended periods, but it's costing them.
The hooter sounds, and the first quarter ends. China made the most of their dominance, taking a 3-0 lead. They pushed forward and never looked back, scoring precise goals while using everything they had, yet still had plenty left.
Thailand’s goalie struggled to face China, with Xu Yanan emerging as the hero of the quarter, scoring the first goal and then contributing to the third.
The second quarter is just like the first, with China dominating and scoring within the first few minutes. The fourth goal comes from Deng Qiuchan at 10:28.
That's not all, China earn a penalty corner, and while it's tough to defend, they get three more Re-PCs. Thailand are struggling, but the goalie makes some crucial saves. China are testing the Thailand goalkeeper relentlessly.
China, you beauty.
What an incredible goal as Ma Xuejiao scores her second at 02:30. Thailand are now making costly mistakes, which could prove disastrous, potentially leading to a foul.
As the half-time hooter sounds, the situation remains unchanged. It’s been all China, with Thailand struggling to keep up. China lead 5-0, and the underdogs face an uphill task ahead.
China are not even letting Thailand breathe, scoring another goal right after the third quarter started. Yu Anhui strikes at 13:51 with a beautiful pass from the Chinese team, deflected in an amazing way.
China are not just playing, they’re playing smartly and playing to win. What beautiful cross passes and excellent possession. They’re not even letting Thailand think about defense, they’re simply scoring and not looking back. This time it was Yu Anhui at 05:29 with a beautiful goal, her second of the day.

Xu Yanan at 02:10 (Q3)

This is truly phenomenal. Every time Thailand took a breath, China scored. It’s all red, it’s all China.
Just like the rest of the game, the fourth quarter began with a goal for China, and it seems like Thailand have already given up. The goalkeeper is nowhere near the goalpost, and China aren’t making any mistakes today. Zeng Xueling scored at 12:59 (Q4).
China are now scoring goals for fun, with their 15th goal coming from Huang Haiyan at 03:39 in the fourth quarter.
