HALF TIME - 0-0
After two minutes of added time the score remains 0-0 as neither side have been able to secure sustained periods of possession and covert limited goal scoring opportunities. China have looked the stronger side, however Denmark have shown flashes of promise. It's all to play for in the second half!
42'
CORNER CLEARED BY CHINA
The corner from Veje is punched away by goalkeeper Xu.
41'
HARDER DENIED
Harder goes on the run for Denmark but the ball across is cleared away by a Rui Zhang header.
