China routs Jordan 12-0 in women's soccer at Asiad
5/12/2006 10:14

The Chinese women's soccer team thrashed Jordan 12-0 in the preliminary matches at Doha Asian Games here on Monday.

Jordan, the first women's soccer team of the Arabic nations to compete in Asian Games, were obviously not at the same class with China, and had to defend throughout the game.

China's star forward Han Duan scored four times, while Ren Liping, Wang Kun and substitute Ma Xiaoxu each got a double.

Center back Li Jie contributed one goal and an own-goal from Jordan defender made the result.

Jordan players were brave in front of the strong opponents and showed some determination in defense. But in attacking, they could rarely dash into China's half pitch.
