China came into the match in confident form after thrashing New Caledonia 5-0 in their opening fixture. The draw took the Asian side to four points and left them second in the group.
Spain currently occupy top spot with six points and have already secured qualification for the
Round of 16. The Spaniards defeated Nigeria 2-0 in their opening match before recording another emphatic victory in their second outing.
The Falconets will now turn their attention to their final group fixture against New Caledonia on Sunday, September 13.
