China has kept alive its hopes of qualifying for the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia after beating Indonesia 1-0 in China’s northwestern city of Xi’an.
22-year-old forward Wu Lei headed in the only goal of the game on the stroke of half time. Indonesia created some clear chances in the second half. However, their attackers were not on the score-sheet.
With the hard-earned victory, China remains second in its pool, four points ahead of Iraq who faced group leader Saudi Arabia in Dammam. China has two more matches against Iraq and Saudi Arabia, before the round ends.
