With the group still wide open, both sides went into the tie needing victory, with Qatar on three points and China PR with none.

The East Asian side settled the quicker with Zhao Songyuan proving to be a menace for Qatar in the opening minutes with four attempts.

With Qatar struggling to contain their pressing, China PR deservedly went ahead in the 14th minute, He Sifan finishing wan Xiang's assist by powering a shot from the left side into the top right corner.

Needing goals to boost their hopes, China PR continued to dictate terms but failed to find a second while Qatar's first attempt on target came in the 37th minute through Dhiaeddine Larbi, which Qin Ziniu comfortably fielded.

Qatar adopted a more aggressive approach after the break but China PR continued to hold the upperhand as they went in search of a second goal.

After both sides exchanged opportunities several times, China PR finally found their second in the 71st minute, with Wan Xiang again the provider as his set-piece was headed home by Zhang Bolin.

Qatar were left shell-shocked by the second goal and were unable to muster a response as China PR held on to confirm their quarter-final spot and ticket to the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2026.
