China's women's hockey team continued its unstoppable campaign at the Asia Cup in Hangzhou, securing a record-breaking 20-0 victory over Chinese Taipei on Tuesday. The host nation has now triumphed in all three Pool A matches without conceding a single goal.
From the opening whistle, China's offensive prowess overwhelmed their opponents, with forward Zhong Jiaqi scoring within two minutes. By halftime, the scoreboard read 12-0 as Chinese Taipei struggled to contain the coordinated attacks.
Head coach Alyson Annan maintained strategic pressure in the second half, guiding her team to add eight more goals. This historic margin of victory follows earlier decisive wins against Malaysia (5-0) and the Republic of Korea (4-0).
The result positions China at the top of Pool A as teams prepare for Wednesday's Super Four stage. All eyes now turn to their upcoming match against Japan, which could determine tournament favorites.
While China celebrates its third consecutive clean sheet, Chinese Taipei's team continues seeking solutions after suffering heavy defeats in group play. The tournament continues through Saturday, with Olympic qualification implications for top finishers.
