China enter quarterfinal with 1-0 win over Cameroon

Xinhua, June 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

China entered the quarterfinal for the first time in eight years after defeating Cameroon 1-0, thanks to a first-half goal of Wang Shanshan, at the Women's World Cup here on Saturday.

Wang tapped in a perfect cross of Li Dongna to beat Cameroon goalkeeper Annette Ngo Ndom in the 12th minute for the sole goal of the match.

China squandered several solo scoring chances in the second half, but 1-0 is enough for them to advance after they missed the 2011 version of the tournament.

China will meet the winners of the match between the United States and Colombia. Endi
