AFC Women's Champions League
The Chinese Taipei outfit’s victory sets them up nicely for their tie against Singapore’s FC Jurong on Thursday while No Limits, the first Lebanese women’s club to compete in an AFC competition, will take on Myanmar’s Ayeyawady FC - Women.
New Taipei City’s Chen Yu-Chin put her name on the scoresheet in the second minute when she swept the ball from the left past a lunging Selena Malaeb following some good work from Kano Miyamoto in the centre of the area.
Malaeb then misread a cross by He Jia-Shiuan from the right in the eighth minute and fumbled the ball into her own goal to extend New Taipei City’s lead just 10 minutes into the match.

The custodian then did well to stop a close-range shot from an unmarked He in the 20th minute and pushed Chen’s curling effort against the left post two minutes later, but failed to prevent Kotomi Nitta from blasting the rebound into the net.
He missed a glorious chance to put New Taipei City further ahead in the 31st minute when, with only Malaeb in her way, she struck the bar from inside the six-yard box, with Liu Yu-Chiao crashing her follow-up into the side netting.

Miyamoto secured goal number four a minute into the second half when she curled the ball past a rooted Malaeb into the left hand corner after being fed by He inside the box.
The Chinese Taipei champions came close to adding to the scoreline on numerous occasions, but their goals only landed in the final five minutes when Miyamoto (85th) and Okubo (86th) took advantage of poor defending to seal the deal.
