⚽🔥 China’s U16 side made a statement in Chongqing, thumping Timor-Leste 14-0 in the second round of AFC U17 Asian Cup qualifying. This monster win marks their second straight Group A victory, pushing them closer to a spot at next spring’s tournament in Saudi Arabia.
They kicked off the scoring just six minutes in, when Zhang Bolin pounced on a rebound. By halftime it was already 6-0, thanks to goals from Zhang’s header off Wan Xiang’s corner and a breathing hat-trick by Xie Jin. The second half saw even more fireworks, with Shuai Weihao and sub Zhao Songyuan each bagging hat-tricks to seal the 14-0 rout.
With only the seven group winners moving on, China now sits top of Group A and is eyeing the crown. Next up, they’ll look to keep this form rolling and book their ticket to the U17 show in Saudi Arabia. Stay tuned—these young guns are ones to watch! 😎🎉
