China's goalscorer replaced due to injury

Xie Wenneng, the Shandong Taishan winner who scored the opening goal for China in the FIFA World Cup qualifier against Australia, explained injury was the reason why he missed the second half. "I immediately felt that my legs had no strength and I wasn't feeling quite right. It was probably caused by one of the sprints during a counterattack," Xie Wenneng said.
