The victory was a much-needed boost for the team as they aim to secure qualification for the World Cup in Qatar next year.

In the 55th minute, China's striker, Zhang Guanyu, found the back of the net to give his team the lead. The goal was well-deserved, as Zhang had been in excellent form throughout the match.
