China Scoreless in Toulon Opener
2006-05-16 08:24:47  CRIENGLISH.com
The Chinese Olympic soccer team wasted several good chances to earn points from a 10-men Czech side at the opening match at the Toulon Tournament.


Tuesday morning (Beijing Time)'s match is the international debut for the Chinese Olympic team. However, many of its key players are left at home for the domestic China Super League since they are the backbones of their local football clubs.

Czech, meanwhile, has some outstanding players who are playing at world's top clubs.

The Czech side opened the game with a strong attack. But China managed to launch counter-attacks to go head on head against the powerful rival and forced Czech players commit fouls that led to one exclusion only five minutes to the end. China failed to take the oppotunity and finished scoreless against Czech.

China will next take on Argentina Wednesday night.
