WUHAN - Ji Ting scored in the 90th minute Saturday to lift China to a 3-2 victory over the FIFA Women's World Stars.
Ji took a loose ball and slotted a shot from 12 meters (yards) behind goalkeeper Rachel Brown. The goal came with just 23 seconds remaining before the brief injury-time period.
The match between the women's all-star team and China was played the day before the draw in Wuhan for the September 10-30 women's World Cup. The World Cup will be played at five venues in China.
"It was a real exhibition, and a sign of things to come for the World Cup," said England coach Hope Powell, who ran the team with Tina Theune-Meyer, the former coach of Germany.
Cheryl Salisbury had scored a goal late in the first half to level the match at 2-2. Conny Pohlers also scored for the Stars with China's other goals from Liu Sa and Han Duan.
Pohlers gave the Stars a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute. The Germany striker scored on a header off a long cross from Mexico defender Monica Gonzalez.
China rallied for a 2-1 lead.
Liu scored on a header in the 14th off a corner. Han also capitalized on a corner, which was deflected away by the defense. But Xie Caixia got the loose ball, and bounced a shot toward the goal with Han heading it home in the 27th.
Salisbury leveled the match in the 42nd on a header off a free kick from Daniela Alves Lima.
The FIFA Stars had had their best chance to go ahead in the second half when Kristine Lilly was stopped in the 60th by China goalkeeper Zhang Yanru on a point-blank shot.
