China 3–0 Maldives

Wang Ziming turned this friendly into a one-man show, scoring three times in the space of thirteen second-half minutes as China ran riot over Maldives. He opened his account in the 50th minute, added a second in the 56th, and completed his hat-trick in the 63rd, turning a routine international fixture into a full-scale demolition. Maldives simply had no answer once China found their rhythm after the break, and the scoreline reflects a gap in class that showed from the first goal to the last. The result won't trouble M. Osmajić at the top of the friendlies scoring charts, but for Wang Ziming, three goals in one half against Maldives is a statement performance in its own right. There's little context beyond the match itself here, but the hat-trick tells its own story: a striker in complete control, and a Maldives side that couldn't find a way to stop him. Watch the highlights to see all three goals, each one arriving in a devastating second-half burst that put the China vs Maldives friendly well out of reach.
