The Four Nations Women's Football Tournament being hosted in southwest China's Chongqing city continued with the hosts taking on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the last match of the round robin tournament.
The DPRK has a reputation for being the most powerful team in the tournament and China's head coach, Hao Wei, adjusted the squad to help counterbalance the side. Ma Xiaoxu was moved up in the line-up to forward.
With the two teams playing fairly evently, key Chinese player Xu Yuan had to leave the field because of injury, and that threated to be the turning point. The DPRK looked dominant. The second half became even more aggressive. Both Ma Xiaoxu and DPRK's Yun Hyon-Hi had the chance to break the deadlock, but to no avail.
The game finished in a scoreless draw. The two sides are long time rivals and China hasn't been able to beat the DPRK in 5 years. The DPRK are the only team from the competing nations that have booked their tickets to the London Olympics.
Despite the draw, the DPRK claimed the four nations title with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points. China finished runners-up with 1 win against Mexico and 2 draws for five points in total.
