Noh Jin-young scored the winning goal in the fourth minute of the first half with a header, following a free kick from Choe Yu-ri. The match marked South Korea's first victory over China in 11 years, ending a five-draw and six-loss streak against the Asian nation. South Korea's goalkeeper, Kim Kyeong-hee, made a crucial save in the second half, thwarting Shao Ziqin's attempt to score. Despite the early lead, South Korean coach Shin Sang-woo noted that his players became nervous and lost focus, preventing them from scoring additional goals. The coach expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, especially in defending against China's attacks. Shin also highlighted the value of competing against top teams like North Korea and Japan in preparing for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup.",
