China's Yu Hai (left) scores the opening goal against Singapore during their 2014 World Cup Asian qualifier in Singapore yesterday. China won 4-0. |
Despite China's routing of Singapore 4-0 Tuesday, Jordan's defeat by Iraq forced China to exit the group stage and end its World Cup run.
China dominated play from the beginning and Yu Hai opened the scoring three minutes from the interval.
Singapore's best chance came when veteran striker Aleksandar Duric hit the crossbar in the 53rd minute. China quickly responded with captain Li Weifeng scoring with a header from a corner in the 56th minute.
China played with just 10 players from the 67th minute after Huang Bowen was sent off for taking a swing at Singapore's Mustafic Fahrudin.
However, China continued to control the game as defender Zheng Zheng finished the scoring with goals in the 73rd and 82nd minutes.
