China edge Taiwan in extra-time to make Women's Asian Cup semis

Shao Ziqin brilliantly fired into the right corner in the 94th minute before earning a penalty in the second-half of added time. Substitute Wurigumula missed the spot kick but China sealed victory at Perth Rectangular Stadium through an own goal from Chen Ying-hui. It kept China's bid for a record-extending 10th title on track, with victory also ensuring their direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. They will face the Matildas on Tuesday at the 60,000-seat Perth Stadium after the hosts edged North Korea 2-1 in the last eight.
