China's star player Han Duan drew the first blood for China through a header only seconds before the half time whistle.

Bi Yan extended China's lead in the second half to 2-0.

Norway, a world powerhouse, rallied back to score one through Marie Knutsen.

Six minutes later, China's up and coming star Ma Xiaoxu added one more goal to keep the hosts in the lead.

China wind up the match 3-1 to celebrate their first international win since the team gathered less than a month ago under the helms of new coach Ma Liangxing.
