China PR, who had already beaten Bahrain 2-0 and Bhutan 6-0, opened the scoring in the sixth minute through Yao Xiandong with the captain scoring again in the 25th minute to secure a healthy lead at the break for the hosts.

Looking to improve their goal difference, China PR went on a rampage in the second half.

Wen Zhanlin (47th), Zhang Chengrui (64th), Buniyaming Abudoushalamu (66th), Yao (67th), We Xiangxin (77th, 80th) and Bian Yulang (86th) all added to China PR’s advantage as they move onto nine points.

Korea Republic set up a final day winners-take-all battle with China PR after they secured a 2-0 win against Bahrain.

Pressure was high on Lee Su-yoon but he calmly stroked in a penalty in the 37th minute to give Korea Republic the lead.

With only one goal separating the two sides, both teams then endured a nervy period in the game until the 64th minute.

Lee Ji-ho was on hand to put away the second goal for Korea Republic to push them back up to top spot and they only need a point against China PR on Sunday to seal qualification.
