The match, held in Yinchuan within the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, showcased China's offensive prowess as they secured their second consecutive win in the tournament.
Forward Lu Jiayu set the tone early with two headers in the 7th and 14th minutes, while Wang Aifang's precision free kick and goals from Zheng Lu, Zhang Yiqian (twice), and Xiao Yafei sealed Cambodia's fate. Head coach Colin Bell acknowledged the team's sluggish first-half performance despite the lead but praised their revitalized energy after halftime.
