Denmark were awarded a penalty midway through the second half, as Wang Shanshan was penalized for pushing an opponent inside the area. Harder didn't waste the ensuing penalty.

Chinese teenager Zhao Yujie was close to register a magical international debut. After two shots in a row by fellow substitutes Yang Man and Wu Chengshu were blocked, the 19-year-old Zhao, playing and pursuing degree at Florida State University, turned around and fired a powerful strike, but it just went off the crossbar.

"Actually I felt a bit nervous when hearing my name called. After all, it's my international debut," admitted Zhao.

"I wanted to score that goal so much. I had thought that could be a goal. It was such a great pity," she added.

"We didn't execute well everything that the coach has emphasized in our training," Li pointed out.

Norway top the group by staying perfect in two matches, while Denmark rank second with a 1-1 record.

As for Wednesday's classification matches, Li said that the Chinese side need to do better in details, including ball movement and connection between offensive and defensive lines.
