The opening goal came in the 72nd minute. Center-back Liu Haofan, born in 2003, launched a long ball from his own half, finding space behind the South Korean defense. Baihelamu Abuduwaili broke the offside trap, evaded Park Jun-seo's challenge inside the penalty area, and then shot into the left corner to open the scoring.

Abuduwaili extended China's lead in the 81st minute. After the visiting team's defense made a mistake, losing possession on the right flank, a cross was delivered. Abuduwaili executed an improvised back-heel, sealing the 2-0 victory.

This victory follows China's previous 1-0 win against South Korea in the same tournament in March, where Liu Haofan scored with a header. Liu continued to make his mark in today's match at Song Luu Stadium.
