A wide gap in attacking output
China produced fifty-eight attempts, twenty-two on target, while Samoa’s only attempt was on target. Together with China’s 79.2% possession, those figures place the seven-goal score in the context of a large attacking imbalance. The match alone does not establish the final group order.
