Athletic Bilbao loses in Shanghai. China takes victory in Future Star Cup. The only goal of the game was scored by Cheng Shenghan in the 14th minute. The match was played at the training ground near the Pudong Football Stadium, drawing the attention of football fans. Chinese Football Association Vice President Xu Jiren, alongside the national men's senior team coach Shao Jiayi, and U19 men's team tactician Dejan Djurdjevic were in attendance. In the 14th minute, Xu Zhengpeng's corner found Cheng, who soared above the defense to powerfully head home what would prove to be the winner. The young defender's prowess in the air was instrumental, mirroring his last-minute heroics against the young Gunners just days prior. China made three substitutions at the hour mark. Zhao Songyuan nearly doubled the lead shortly after entering the game, but his header struck the crossbar. Ultimately, China held firm to clinch a 1-0 victory for its second straight win in the tournament. With passage to the semi-finals already secured, the tournament host will face Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday in its final group stage match.
