Changchun—China beat Australia 1-0 in a pre-Olympic friendly on Sunday. Zhao Xuri scored on a pass from Yuan Weiwei in the 80th minute. It was China's first game without former head coach Ratomir Dujkovic, who was reassigned within the organization last week. According to Xinhua, Dujkovic was scouting Belgium, which is in China's Olympic draw, in a match against the Netherlands. Yin Tiesheng is now the team's head coach.

Midfielder Zheng Zhi, one of China's best players who two weeks ago was rumored to be injured and missing the Olympics, did play in the match.
