DALIAN, China - Second-half goals from Wang Qiuming and Wu Lei earned China men's football team a 2-0 win against Vietnam in an international friendly here on Tuesday.

Following a disappointing 1-0 loss against Syria on home turf in September, China head coach Aleksandar Jankovic made multiple changes to his starting lineup including introducing youngsters Wu Shaocong and Fang Hao.

The hosts had their best scoring opportunity in the first half in the 34th minute, while Tan Long's powerful header hit the post.

Wang broke the deadlock with his maiden international goal in the 56th minute, when he volleyed home after collecting a left cross from Liu Yang.

Wu netted twice for China in the stoppage time of the second half. Although his first goal in a free kick combination was disallowed due to offside, the Chinese striker penetrated into the penalty area to beat the goalkeeper one-on-one in the 98th minute.
