NAMHAE: China went on the rampage against Singapore in their last league match of the AFC Under-17 Women's Championship, steamrolling their rivals 27-0 at the Sports Park here on Thursday.

This is the highest number of goals scored in one match. So dominant were the Chinese girls that Singapore turned the ball twice into their own net under pressure. Chinese strikers Li Nan and Li Lin made merry with six goals each, while Lu Aixue joined the party with four more. Others who found the net included Xu Wenjia, Wang Ni, Wang Ling Ling and Li Wen. Substitutes Mao Aihong and He Zuen also made their presence count with two goals each. The half time score tilting heavily in favour of China was 14-0. The winners started scripting the rout from the fourth minute itself.

"Our target is to reach the finals," said Chinese coach Suang Rui Hua. "So, this match and also the semi-finals are training matches for us." Suang also took the opportunity to try out different tactics and shuffling the players in and out of position. "This was a good chance to try different methods and reposition the players." Singapore coach Nathaniel Naplah was understandably disappointed. " I'm completely disappointed because the players didn't put much effort into this match. They played better in the first match."
