China 0 Slovenia 0 - Slovenia win 4-3 on penalties

First Published: Feb 15, 2002

China lost again on penalties for the second time this week with Slovenia beating them 4-3 with spot kicks after a 0-0 draw in Hong Kong.

Captain Su Maozhen hit the bar to allow Nastja Ceh to score Slovenia's fourth penalty with goalkeeper Mladen Dabanovict saving a weak shot that went straight at him from Zhang Yuning to win the game.

Slovenia recovered from a 5-1 hammering by Honduras three days ago to have the best of this game with Milenko Acimovic heading over the bar in the 32nd minute when Chinese goalkeeper Li Yunfei palmed a Sasa Gajser snap shot into the air.
