Second-half China blitz sinks Malaysia

China overcame first-half jitters to beat gutsy hosts Malaysia 3-0 in the AFC Youth Championship on Sunday and qualify for the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands next year.
 
The Chinese had to work hard to dismantle Malaysia in their quarter-final at Cheras Stadium in Kuala Lumpur but once they got their noses in front in the second half, the result was never in doubt.
 
They face a semi-final match against Syria on Wednesday in Ipoh. All four semi-finalists from the AFC Youth Championship qualify for the world event.
 
Chinese coach Yin Tiesheng was a relieved man, especially after watching his side suffer a few heart-stopping moments in the first half.
 
“It was a difficult match for us, especially in the first half, so I’m very satisfied with the result and being able to qualify for the world championship,” said Yin. “We can learn from this match and prepare for our semi-final.”
 
Malaysian coach K. Rajagopal was proud of his players despite the three second-half lapses.
 
“I was definitely surprised at how well we played in the first half,” he said. “We could have even scored. But I know that the effort we put in would take its toll in the second half.
 
“China were physically bigger and we gave away three easy goals. Still, a lot of positives can be taken from the first half.”
 
China started with their tall and lanky striker, Zou You, with the clear aim to dominate Malaysia in the air.
 
The Malaysians countered by putting captain Hasmarul Fadzir, the home side’s tallest player, on Zou but the 1.96-metre Chinese target man still towered over his marker quite comfortably.
 
Malaysia could not be faulted for their effort against the physically bigger and stronger opponents and were almost rewarded in the 15th minute.
 
Mohamad Aidil Zaufuan found himself in front of goal with just the keeper to beat after a long-range shot had deflected on to his path. But the awkward bounce and his own reticence saw the ball squirm harmlessly away, much to the relief of Chinese goalkeeper Guan Zhen.
 
In attacking, though, Malaysia would often forget the rare but real danger posed by Zou, who failed to convert a free header on 21 minutes.
 
China controlled the midfield but were constantly on guard against speedy counter attacks down the flanks through Kram Saramsak on the right and Tengku Ahmad Tengku Qayyum on the left.
 
The teams went into the break tied 0-0 with the home side possibly feeling they could have been in front.
 
Indeed, it was something they would rue minutes after the restart. Chinese midfielder, Chen Tao, their most dangerous player in the first half, burst down the left and rounded the defence with his speed. Ingoring the viable option to centre, Chen instead beat keeper Zainon Mohd Zulhaimi from a tight angle for the opening goal.
 
Malaysia were buried four minutes later when China scored their second. Zhou Haibin sent a pass from the right across the face of the goal and Zou tucked it in at the far post.
 
His goal came seconds after his marker, Fadzir, was substituted. Zhou made it 3-0 in the 65th minutes with a shot from just outside the area.
