Group C: China PR 4-1 Singapore

Wu Lei’s 21st-minute opener for China was cancelled out by a Faris Ramli header in the very next minute at Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium, but second half goals from Fei Nanduo, another for Wu Lei, and a late strike from Wei Shihao gave the hosts their second win in Group C of the qualifiers. 
 
The two teams played out a 2-2 draw in Singapore last week as the hosts rescued a point with second-half goals from Faris and Jacob Mahler after Wu Lei’s brace had given China a 2-0 lead in Ivankovic’s first game in charge.
