2002 World Cup - China 2 Uzbekistan 0

First Published: Sep 15, 2001

China are now only one win away from the 2002 World Cup finals.

Bora Milutinovic's side took the lead on the hour mark when Wu Chengying crossed from a corner for defender Li Weifeng to head in and in the 75th minute a free kick from just outside the penalty area by Fan Zhiyi curled into the net.

China have now asserted their control over Group B in the Asian qualifiers and now lead the second placed Ubeks by four points with one team to go through to the finals automatically.
