IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GOALS WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT TIMES - GUO JIN DANCING HIS WAY PAST FOUR RED SHIRTS TO SCORE AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER IN THE FIFTH MINUTE - THE ENGLISH DID RESTORE PARITY THROUGH MARK GLEGHORNE BEFORE HALF TIME AND LIAM ANSELL GAVE HIS SIDE THE LEAD - BUT DU TALAKE SCORED OFF A PC TO STUN THE ENGLISH - CHINA EARN THEIR FIRST EVER POINT IN A MEN'S WORLD CUP

IT WAS A MATCH THAT BEGAN ON A MAGICAL NOTE FROM A CHINESE PERSPECTIVE - AND ENDED ON A MAGICAL NOTE FOR THE CHINESE TOO!!!
