At the Helan Mountain Stadium in Yinchuan on August 6, 2025, the Chinese U20 Women's Football Team ushered in the first match of Group E of the U20 Women's Football Asian Cup qualifiers. Facing the weaker Syria team, the girls did not give their opponents any chance, and achieved a "good start" of this event with a thrilling 6-0. This big victory was not only a crush of technology and physical strength, but also the first perfect answer given by new coach Colin Bale after taking over the team, injecting a shot in the U20 Women's Football Asian Cup. The

The competition showed an overwhelming advantage of the Chinese women's football team from the beginning. Under the tactical thinking of head coach Colin Bale, the girls quickly entered the state and firmly controlled the initiative on the field through active running, precise transmission and tacit cooperation. Although the Syrian team struggled to resist, there was a clear gap with the Chinese team in terms of technology, speed and overall tactical literacy.

Just shortly after the opening, the Chinese team's offense rushed to the opponent's penalty area like a tide. In the 15th minute, a sophisticated team cooperation tore open the Syrian team's defense line. Lu Jiayu keenly captured the opportunity and calmly pushed the shot from the far corner to score the first record for the team. This goal greatly boosted the morale of the whole team. Just 5 minutes later, it was Lu Jiayu again. She used her speed advantage to break through to the front of the penalty area, calmly shot against the goalkeeper who was attacking, and scored twice to expand the score to 2-0. In the first half of the game, the Chinese team's offense blossomed at multiple points, showing strong attack power. Midfielder Zheng Lu used his powerful long shot, and the ball was slapped in a dead corner like a cannonball, rewriting the score to 3-0. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yiqian, a fast horse from the side, made a cross from the bottom with his personal ability, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and penetrated the opponent's ten fingers. Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team was already ahead 4-0. This is not only a lead in the score, but also a perfect display of tactical execution, team cohesion and strong confidence. Head coach Colin Bale's tactical philosophy has begun to show results.

**Second half: The offensive remains unabated, the icing on the cake**

The change of sides and the fight again, the Chinese U20 women's football team had no intention of stopping. Colin Bell replaced some of the main players with Xiao Yafei and Li Ke, intending to continue to expand the results while training the lineup. In the second half of the game, the Syrian team was no longer interested in fighting, and the scene was completely controlled by the Chinese team.

In the 60th minute, Xiao Yafei, who came on the bench, showed excellent shooting ability. She received a reply from her teammates on the edge of the penalty area. After a slight adjustment, she shot with a burst of shot. The ball entered the net and locked the score at 5-0. This goal is not only a reflection of strength, but also a proof of the substitute players' ability to seize opportunities. At the last moment of the game, Li Ke took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to jump high in the penalty area, overwhelmed the defensive players, and put a perfect end to the game with a powerful header. In the end, the score was frozen at 6 to 0.

This 6-0 victory is of great significance. First of all, it was the perfect start for the Chinese team in the qualifiers, greatly improving the team's morale and confidence. The first "small test" after the new coach Colin Bale took office. He proved his coaching ability with a hearty victory and also showed the outside world the potential of this newly formed U20 women's football team. Secondly, in other group matches, the Cambodian team in the same group lost to Lebanon 0-1, which allowed the Chinese team to temporarily top Group E with the advantage of goal difference, laying a solid foundation for qualifying. Two days later, the Chinese team will face the Cambodian team, which is also weak. For the Chinese U20 women's football team, which is determined to qualify, there is only one goal in this game: not only win, but also to get as many goals as possible. With the same points, goal difference will be the key to determining rankings. #
