China U20 W vs Guinea U20 W

China seized control from the opening whistle. They stormed to a 17-8 lead by halftime, their shooting efficiency and defensive pressure proving too much for the West African side. Yujie Fu was the hosts' most prolific scorer, converting five of her 10 attempts, while Jing Liang and Shuoyan Zhang each added three goals.

The second half was a more even contest — both sides scored 10 goals after the break — but the damage had been done in the first 30 minutes. Guinea improved their shot selection but could not close the nine-goal gap. Yarie Mansare (3/4), Aissatou Diallo (3/7) and Aminata Soumah (3/5) led the Guinean attack.

China's first-half surge between the 10th and 25th minutes proved decisive. After Guinea had stayed within three or four goals early on, China rattled off a 6-1 run to push the lead to 14-6. Goalkeeper Sitong Huang stopped several fast breaks, and the hosts' near-range finishing — 16 near goals to Guinea's 12 — told the story of China's dominance in the paint.

• Yujie Fu (China): The team's top scorer with five goals from 10 shots, Fu was China's drive-and-finish engine from the back court.
• Jing Liang (China): Three goals from four attempts (75%) continued the form that earned her Player of the Match honours in the opener against Algeria.
• Yiyao Sha (China): A perfect 2/2 from the field in limited minutes, showing the depth in China's rotation.
• Yarie Mansare (Guinea): Three goals at 75% efficiency was a bright spot for the African side.

China's 63% shooting efficiency (27/43) comfortably outpaced Guinea's 53% (18/34). The hosts dominated from 6 metres (9 goals to 4) and on the wings (4 goals to 1), while Guinea could not match China's output from close range. China also converted five of their seven-metre chances against Guinea's two. The clean 10-10 second half shows China managed the game professionally rather than piling on goals.

China now have four points from two Group E matches, level with Denmark who earlier beat Algeria 38-24 on the same day. The two sides meet in what is effectively a group-decider on 27 June. Guinea, still without a point, face Algeria in a must-win Presidents' Cup placement match on the same day.

China are building momentum on home soil. The first-half demolition was the difference, and with Denmark up next, the hosts have a real chance to top Group E and carry two points into the main round. Guinea will need a sharp improvement in their final group match to avoid an early exit.
