In the first match of the tournament, China and Mongolia battled to a 6-0 victory in a tidal wave of 24 shots on goal to top the group, while Australia and Kyrgyzstan fought a 4-2 tug-of-war, trailing China on goal difference, despite being slightly behind on goals scored.
Obviously, among the four strong teams, the match between China and Australia will be the highlight of the tournament, and it will probably decide the final winner of the Panda Cup Invitational Tournament.
If China wins this crucial match, the title will be theirs, and with a relatively weakened Kyrgyzstan as their next opponents, the Junior National Team will have no problem defeating them, however, a draw will depend on the outcome of the final round of the tournament, but with a superior goal difference, China's chances of winning the title are still high, and an unfortunate loss for the Chinese would leave the title in the hands of Australia's Junior National Team.
Although the performance of the adult national team has not been satisfactory, the strength of the domestic youth players has developed greatly in recent years, and the possibility of the Chinese team winning the match against the Australian national youth team is not to be underestimated, as the CCTV will also attach great importance to this match, and will broadcast the match live, so as to let the fans all over the country to share this sports feast.
