China loses "match of vengeance" to Germany　　China lost to Germany 2-0 in a match dubbed by the Chinese local media "match of vengeance" on Tuesday at the women's Four-Nation soccer tournament. 　　Goals from Annike Krahn and Renate Lingor gave the world champions the first victory over China since the European side's 8-0 thrash of the Steel Roses in the opening round at the Athens Olympic Games. 　　Chinese caretaker head coach Wang Haiming said he would rather think the defeat valuable than frustrating. 　　"I am happy that my players showed so much spirit and courage against the world champions tonight, especially when there were so many youngsters in the squad," said Wang, whose national team called up seven players from the world championship runners-up junior side. 　　"It doesn't matter that we lost the match because we have gained so much experience through the tournament," he added. "So I am actually in a good mood now despite the loss." 　　Germany head coach Tina Theune Meyer said it was a hard game for her players. 　　"China had more ball possession and many chances to score. We just converted the chances," she said. 　　"It was the hardest game of the tournament," she added. 　　Krahn put Germany ahead seven minutes into the match on a chilly Tuesday night in the southern port city of Quanzhou as the 19-year-old stroke from long range beat an unprepared goal keeper Zhang Yanru. 　　Lingor, who scored the only goal for Germany at this tournament prior to the match, took the free kick, which was deflected by a Chinese defender and the ball dropped into the net.
