China wins, but loses core striker
Adjust font size:

In a Chinese 4-0 triumph over the visiting New Zealand women's football team on Wednesday, promising striker Ma Xiaoxu got a severe injury that may cost her participation in the Beijing Olympics next year.

Ma was tumbled by a rival defender outside the box in the closing seconds of the first half. The injury made her unable to stand up and she was later sent to hospital for further examination.

China grabbed an advantage in ball possession after the game began, but only broke the stalemate in the 31st minute with the rival's scoring a home goal.

China's performance turned around in the second half after head coach Elisabeth Loisel made several changes in the lineup.

Han Duan, Zhang Zheng and Bi Yan scored respectively to hammer home China's final victory.
