China, Tajikistan end in goalless draw at AFC Asian Cup

DOHA, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- China was held to a goalless draw against Tajikistan in Group A of the AFC Asian Cup here on Saturday.

China defender Zhu Chenjie headed home in the 80th minute through a corner, but the goal was disallowed by VAR due to offside.

Tajikistan will take on Qatar at Al Bayt Stadium next, while China faces Lebanon at Al Thumama Stadium in the other Wednesday fixture of the group. ■
