Germany, China enter quarterfinals

Germany overpowered Sweden 4-1 and China ousted Cameroon 1-0 on Saturday in the Round of 16 at the Women's World Cup.

In Ottawa, Germany's top scorer Anja Mittag intercepted a poor pass to shot the goal into the far post for a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute.

Mittag earned a penalty 10 minutes before the break and Celia Sasic made it 2-0, and she headed in her second goal of the game in the 78th minute.

Sofia Jakobsson pulled one back for Sweden late on, but Dzsenifer Marozsan's looping shot gave Germany convincing win.

Germany wait for the match between France and South Korea for the quarterfinal opponents.

In Edmonton, 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 put much efforts on defence from the very beginning and never changed their tactical even with a one-goal lead.

Cameroon came all out in the second half, leaving more space in the back when Wang, who used to play the center back but be a forward this match, had at least three solo scoring chances but failed to extend the lead.

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

"There is no win or loss, only fight on the pitch. We're ready to face the U.S. if they advance," Chang said. "We have no pressure and we have a great tournament so far. I want my players to go as far as they can, or fly as far as they can." Endi
