JINAN, China, Sept. 3 -- Hosts China earned a goalless tie with DPR Korea here on Saturday night in the London Olympic women's soccer qualifier, getting only two points from two matches in the six-team round-robin tournament.

The top two finishers in Asia will get the Olympic berths, and China's hope is dim as they also tied South Korea 0-0 in their opener here on Thursday.

However, China head coach Li Xiaopeng showed his satisfaction to his players' performance. "I said that I'm not satisfied with my players' performance last match since they were not motivated on pitch. But today I saw an over-motivated squad here," Li said.

"I said before the tournament kicked off that every match could be tough and every minute on pitch will count.

China's Xu Yuan (C) breaks through during the match against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) at the Asian women's football qualifier for the 2017 London Olympics in Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, Sept. 3, 2011.

"There're not so many world-class scorers. I think they performed 100 percent of their own and just missed the win," Li noted.

China's veteran striker Han Duan became a starter tonight, but the Chinese attacking line failed to create more brilliant chances.

China's best chance came in the 12th minute when forward Xu Yuan got a through pass from Han Duan and shook off the defence around the spot. But her low shot went just wide off the left post.
