China earned a berth for the Rio Olympic women's football event here on Monday with one game remaining in the six-team round-robin Asian Zone qualifications.
After beating Vietnam 2-0, drawing North Korea 1-1, upsetting hosts Japan 2-1, China beat South Korea 1-0 this afternoon, collecting 10 points to stand second in the standings. North Korea garnered five points from four matches, standing third, reports Xinhua.
Taming North Korea 2-1 here this evening, Australia won 12 points from four matches, standing first with another ticket to Rio.
