China's women's soccer (football) team played the United States to a scoreless draw in a warmup match Wednesday in Qinhuangdao. Ma Xiaoxu (马晓旭), a 20-year-old striker and one of the team's key players, was carried off in the 30th minute with an injury to her left knee. Ma was starting for the first time after being sidelined for almost a year due to a knee injury.

China's starting lineup for the match, which should be similar to its Olympic lineup was as follows: Zhang Yanru (张艳茹), Zhou Gaoping (周高萍), Weng Xinzhi (翁新芝), Li Jie (李洁), Liu Huana (刘华娜), Zhang Ying (张颖), Bi Yan (毕妍), Zhang Na (张娜) Pu Wei (浦玮), Ma Xiaoxu and Yuan Xu (徐媛).
