Women's Soccer: China vs Denmark 6-0 (Mar.14)
Adjust font size:

China beat listless Danmark 6-0 in their final group game of the Algarve Cup women's football competition on Monday in Portugal.

Han Duan's hat-tirck and her striking partner Guo Yue's brace sank Denmark who managed no dangerous shot throughout the whole game.

In the 20th minute, the 22-year-old Han broke clear of Denmark's shambolic defense to drive teammate Bai Lili's penetrating pass past motionless goalkeeper Susanne Graversen.

Seven minutes later, Graversen parried Han's shot and the ball rebounded comfortably to the 20-year-old Guo who's fierce shot gave hapless Graversen no chance.

Han made it 3-0 in the 33rd minute when she intercepted a fluffed pass by Denmark and coolly put the ball into the net.

She completed her hat-trick eight minutes later when Guo's deft pass put her in a solo run, and Graversen could do nothing to stop the inspired striker.

In the second half, China's attack abated after making five substitutions. Despite this, Guo and midfielder Zhao Xiaoyan each scored once.

Han, who suffered slight injury in her right leg, was happy that China finally scored after drawing the United States 0-0 and losing to France 1-0.

China's coach Ma Liangxing put on a poker face as he found his side's game far from satisfying.

"Denmark's defense was badly-organized and they gave us some chances. They sometimes looked like a group of amateurs, even though my players still made a lot of mistakes," he said.
