Iraq's Alaa Khashen fights for the ball with China's Shen Longyuan (L) and Zhou Haibin during their soccer match at the Asian Games in Doha November 29, 2006. China won 1-0.
 
Nov.30 - Midfielder Zhou Haibin scored the only goal to give China a 1-0 win over Iraq while Japan edged past Pakistan 3- in the second round of men's soccer event at the Doha Asian Games on Wednesday.

 

Zhou drove a well-taken half volley from 22 meters past goalkeeper Mohammed Khadum after Iraqi defender1 failed to clear the cross by Shen Longyuan

 

Veteran coach Ratomir Dujikovic's men had more ball possession in the first half. But Iraq created a better chance. Wang Dalei denied Karrar Muhamed on two occasions when the in-form keeper caught a sharp header and shut out the Iraqi left winger on a one-to-one situation.

 

China was reduced to ten men four minutes before the interval2, when left back Zhang Ke received his second yellow card.

 

Iraq piled on the pressure to their rivals in the second half when Muaad Saleem fired a powerful low drive against the side net inside the box.

 

China's best chance came after 61 minutes when skipper Zheng Zhi made a quick foray down the left flank before feeding a smart back pass to find an unmarked Zhou, who shot the ball too high.

 

Gao Lin nearly doubled the advantage for China in the 75th minute, only to find his left foot shot fly over the bar.

 

Japan frustrated3 a brave Pakistan side during the match but the win was somewhat embarrassing.

 

Japan dominated the first half and opened the scoring two minutes into the game when Keisuke Honda slotted in a comfortable goal in front of a sloppy4 Pakistan defence.

 

Hiroyuki Taniguchi produced a brace5 in the 32rd and 57th minutes and a slaughter6 seemd to be unavoidable.

 

But Pakistan were not so easy to be daunted7. They made strenuous8 efforts to find the target. Muhammad Rasool pulled one back in the 61st minute and contiuned their attacking. Naveed Akram drove home eight minutes before the final whistle to further boost the morale9.

 

However, Japan didn't give their opponents any chance to get three points.

 

In Wednesday's other matches, India drew with Hong Kong, China,1-1; Oman beat Malaysia 3-1; Iran downed Maldives 3-1; DPR Korea tied with Syria 0-0.
