AFC U20 Asian Cup: Yuhaybi's Strike Leads Saudi Arabia To 1-0 Win Over China In Quarters
AFC U20 Asian Cup China: Amar Al Yuhaybi struck deep into time added-on as Saudi Arabia defeated China 1-0 in their AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2025 quarterfinal at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Centre Stadium here on Saturday.
Saudi Arabia, who are now on their way to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 2025, will play either 12-time winners Korea Republic or defending champions Uzbekistan in the semifinals on Wednesday. China, meanwhile, were left to rue numerous missed opportunities - including a penalty - as they exited the competition.
After a cautious start by both sides, Saad Haqawi had Saudi Arabia’s first look at goal in the eighth minute, with his curling shot off a free-kick just sailing wide of the left post. China had their first good attempt in the 16th minute when an unmarked Kuai Jiwen, off a cross from Wang Yudong, swung his shot to the right with only keeper Hamed Yousef to beat.
