China's Yunnan youth football team has won the Chinese New Year Cup football match by defeating Nepali youth football team 2-0. At Dasharath Stadium, China's provincial youth team scored goals in both halves to turn the unfriendly game in their favour.

However, the game was not as friendly. In air ball and one versus one, the players of both the teams were fighting badly. The physical violence continued until the end of the game. Ashish Rai, who performed impressively from the Nepal Youth Team, and Mori from Yunnan had to leave the field in the 36th minute when they got into a one-on-one ball fight. Ashish's injury is still serious and there is a possibility that he will have to leave the field for a long time. All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) has informed that Ashish will undergo surgery due to 'multiple fractures'.

Earlier, Yu Menghui gave Yunnan the lead in the 21st minute. On the counter attack, Menghui scored a goal from outside the penalty box without giving any opportunity to the goalkeeper of Nepal Yuva Team, Krishal Moktan. After that, Ashish's long shot was saved by goalkeeper Lei Zhibo. In the 25th minute, Neerajan Dhami's shot was also excellently saved by Zhibo.

Savin Lungeli Magar, whom coach Rajesh Shahi had high hopes for in the pre-match conference the day before, could not make much of an impact on the game. Savin and Saroj Darlami were both replaced at half-time. The Nepali team could not play more than 2-3 passes. He was playing more in 'air ball' with opposing players who were taller than him.

Nepali team's goalkeeper Krishal saved He Haohan's shot and Yunnan's lead  He was prevented from doubling. Menghui missed tapping into the empty post in the 77th minute. Soon after that, Yunnan also scored the second goal on the counter. Striker Wang Binhan tricked the Nepalese captain Seemant Thapa and scored without giving any chance to the goalkeeper Krishal.
