MUMBAI: China walked away with an unlikely victory as they stunned Mexico 2-1 in the opening match of Group C in the Under-17 Women's World Cup at the DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday.
China scored through a 49th minute penalty (Qiao Ruiqi) and a 90th minute field goal (Yu Xingyue) as the skillful Mexican girls self-destructed. An added time own goal gave the scoreline some respectability as Katherin Guijarro's cross from goal line was deflected in.
