China beat Chinese Taipei 4-0 in the Asian Games women's football tournament here Thursday.

Despite the comfortable victory, China head coach Hao Wei said he was not satisfied with his team's performance. "All the players did their best but in terms of scoring efficiency we need to improve. I'm not satisfied," said Hao, reports Xinhua.

Midfielder Han Peng opened the scoring in the sixth minute before Yang Li (12th), Zhang Rui (37th) and Ma Jun (46th) each scored a goal each for China.

"We wanted more goals. Our team's aim is to be No.1 in Group B and advance to the quarter-finals. I should have scored more goals," said the 25-year-old Han Peng.

Chinese Taipei coach Nagira Masayuki said he felt sad about the result but will look to the future as his team lacks experience.

China will next face Jordan in their last Group B match. As China and Japan ended in a 0-0 draw in their group opener, the goal difference will decide the ranks.
