China smashes Kyrgyzstan 6-0 at Silk Road Hua Shan Cup

XI'AN -- China U16 men's soccer team swept Kyrgyzstan 6-0 on Monday for its second straight victory at the Silk Road Hua Shan Cup international youth football tournament.

China who beat Myanmar 5-0 on Saturday, kept their winning mood by dominating the first half against Kyrgyzstan who opted to line up five defenders in a row after its earlier 8-0 loss to Tajikistan.

After Ye Zimin missed his close volley in the 4th minute and captain Liu Yiheng swung his header over the bar seven minutes later, Jia Boyan of Shanghai SIPG found the net in the 41st minute with a power shot out of the box. Ye Zimin scored the second before the half time.
