Italy have never lost after scoring first at the World Cup, winning four and drawing one.
China have lost all six World Cup knockout stage games they have conceded first in, all six without scoring.

Valentina Giacinti's goal the difference at the break.

Italy 1-0 China
China continue to threaten late in the first half.
Wang Shuang's throughball to Li Ying down the right edge of the box is perfect, but Li's low shot is blocked well by the sliding Elisa Bartoli.

Italy have not seen the China half for the last 20 minutes or so.
Skipper Sara Gama close to inadvertently slicing Wang Shuang's corner into her own net but goalkeeper Laura Giuliani does well to smother.

HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 42 mins
Italy 1-0 China
Almost the leveller.
China get a free-kick which is played perfectly into the box, Li Ying makes her run in behind and heads against the post from 12 yards out.
Would have gone to VAR for an offside check, the Italy players just seemed to stop.

Former England captain on BBC TwoWhen China have got it out to that right-hand channel they have been more of a threat.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 39 mins
Italy 1-0 China
China keep coming.
Li Ying bursts down the right but cannot find a team-mate with her cross.
Looks like an injury problem for Cristiana Girelli. She is replaced and Juventus team-mate Aurora Galli takes her place.

China have been causing Italy a few problems at the back.
On this occasion, Liu Shanshan's dipping strike from outside the area is gathered by goalkeeper Laura Giuliani.
It has been a great contest this.

Cheeky from Italy skipper Sara Gama.
The centre-back spots China goalkeeper Peng Shimeng off her line and goes for goal from all of 40 yards out, but it drifts just wide.
Decent effort that.
GREAT SAVE!published at 33 mins
Italy 1-0 China
China are getting exposed at the back time and time again.
This time AC Milan full-back Valentina Bergamaschi ghosts in behind and into the box, but her thumping strike is brilliantly kept out by Peng Shimeng's save from close range.
'The Great Wall of China' at it again.
CLOSE!published at 31 mins
Italy 1-0 China
Goalscorer Valentina Giacinti is through again, she sprints to the edge of the box unchallenged and is one-on-one with goalkeeper Peng Shimeng but rolls the shot wide of the post.
Would not have counted anyway, the flag went up for offside.
Hate this new 'put the flag up late' rule.

No holding back from Han Peng.
A 50-50 ball and she comes hurtling in on goalscorer Valentina Giacinti with a robust challenge.

It has been all China the last few minutes.
A lovely strike from Wang Yan - 30 yards out, cutting across the ball - forces Italy goalkeeper Laura Giuliani into a fine save by tipping the effort over the crossbar.
That was dipping in.
