China beat Germany 1-0 Wednesday in a women's soccer international friendly, avenging their 8-0 disgrace to the world champions in the 2004 Athens Games.

Bai Lili stroke home the only goal 11 minutes into the second half with a bizarre corner kick, ending Germany's 12-game winning streak.

China's 33-year-old veteran striker Sun Wen, starting in the second game of her comeback, led China's attack with Han Duan before being substituted off 20 minutes before the end.
