Chinese Women's FA Cup First Round: Shanxi Xihua Women 0-5 Dalian Football School Women In a one-sided Chinese Women's FA Cup tie played at 16:00, Dalian Football School Women produced a stunning display to thrash Shanxi Xihua Women 5-0 away from home. The young talents from Dalian overwhelmed their opponents with a blend of pace, skill, and ruthless efficiency, booking their place in the next round in emphatic fashion.

The floodgates truly opened in the second half, with Dalian scoring three more times in a dominant twenty-minute spell. The goals came from various sources, including a long-range effort and a simple tap-in after a defensive mix-up, highlighting their all-around attacking threat. Shanxi Xihua offered little in response, managing only a few half-chances as they were pinned back for most of the match. The standout performance came from Dalian's dynamic forward line, whose movement and interplay were too much for the Shanxi defense to handle. This heavy defeat will be a tough lesson for Shanxi Xihua, while Dalian Football School Women announced themselves as a potential cup outsider with this statement victory. The result has no impact on league standings but eliminates Shanxi from the cup competition at the first hurdle. The Dalian coach was delighted with her team's application: "The girls played with fantastic energy and discipline. To score five goals away in the cup is a fantastic achievement." The Shanxi manager was blunt in her assessment: "We were not at the races today. We have to be much better, both individually and as a unit." Shanxi Xihua fielded their regular starting lineup, but they were thoroughly outplayed. Dalian Football School's starting XI, brimming with youthful exuberance, executed their game plan to perfection.
