Football : China advance from Asian Cup group after 3-0 success over Philippines

China qualified for the knockout phase of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup after beating Philippines 3-0 in Abu Dhabi. China went ahead just before the break when Wu Lei fired past Michael Falkesgaard. The Shanghai SIPG star bagged his second goal of the game with a stunning volley just after the hour mark. Dubbed as the "lucky player" by Chinese fans, Yu Dabao added a third 17 seconds after coming on as a substitute. China will next meet Korea Republic on Wednesday, while the Philippines will face Kyrgyzstan.
