BRISBANE, Australia - China secured an Asian Cup quarterfinal spot with a 2-1 comeback win over 2011 semifinalist Uzbekistan on Wednesday, with Wu Xi and Sun Ke scoring second-half goals to reach the knockout stage for this first time in 11 years. Doug Baldwin Jersey .China leads Group B with six points from two games and, with Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia each on three points and meeting in the last of the preliminaries, is assured of finishing at the top.The Chinese dominated possession and territory early but Uzbekistan opened the scoring midway through the first half, when Odil Ahmedov cut in from the left, steadied, and fired in a right-foot shot from 25 yards which deflected off Wu and looped inside the far past.Wu made up for it when he equalized 10 minutes into the second half and Sun, who went on in the 66th, made an angled run from the left two minutes later and struck from the edge of the area to seal the win.We played a very beautiful match, China coach Alain Perrin said. Now we can move to the knockout stage in the first ranking of the group. Its fantastic.China will play winless North Korea in Canberra on Sunday and return to Brisbane for a Jan. 22 quarterfinal against either Australia or South Korea whichever places second in Group A.Perrin said the superior physical condition of his team was the determining factor in humid sub-tropical conditions.We kept playing football by our style, he said. In the second half, because of the stamina, we got more space to pass the ball as our opponents got tired. I think we deserve this result.Ahmedov had the opportunity to give Uzbekistan a 2-0 lead in the first half after captain Server Djeparov was dragged down just outside the area by China defender Ren Hang, but he drilled the resulting free kick and into the shins of a Chinese defender on the edge of the wall.China had four shots in the first half, but Uzbekistan goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov came off his line twice to defuse dangerous crosses from the flanks.He also had no trouble stopping Wus shot from close range minutes into the second half, but had no chance against the Chinese midfielder in the 55th.Wu neatly finished off an attacking move that started with Jiang Zhipengs long, floated cross from the left flank to the right, just out of Nesterovs range, that was acrobatically flicked into the area by Gao Lin.Replacement Uzbekistan midfielder Sardo Rashidov forced a save from Wang Dalie in the 67th but China responded immediately at the other end through Sun.China dominated the latter stages, and the best missed chance was Zhang Linpengs volley over the crossbar in the 75th.Uzbekistan coach Mirdjalal Kasimov said his lineup had the better of the first half, but China responded well and made the most of two defensive lapses in the second.After we conceded, China got stronger and changed the game, Kasimov said. I want to congratulate the Chinese team on qualifying.Both teams won their opening matches, with Uzbekistan edging North Korea 1-0 and China beating the Saudis by the same margin.Saudi Arabia had a 4-1 win over North Korea earlier Wednesday, keeping its chances alive.

The Wild lead the Northwest Division and look to get back into the win column after having a season-high seven-game winning streak cut short with Tuesdays 2-1 loss at Winnipeg in the finale of a five-game road trip (4-1-0). http://www.authenticseahawksstoreonline.com/Black-28-Justin-Coleman-Womens-Jersey/ . Harrison Barnes had 15 points and Reggie Bullock scored 11 for the Tar Heels (17-3, 4-1 ACC), who took the court for the first time without starter Dexter Strickland. The junior guard tore his right ACL last Thursday at Virginia Tech and will miss the rest of the season.KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - Maria Sharapova was happy to play an 11 a.m. match Monday, especially when her work day was already done by the time a mid-afternoon shower interrupted play. "Its nice to see all the players coming back in the locker room, and Im like, Ill see you later," she said. Sharapova started early but didnt start well. She won only five points in the first four games before settling down to reach the quarterfinals at the Sony Open by beating Kirsten Flipkens 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. The worlds top-ranked players had an easier time. Serena Williams eliminated fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-1. Rafael Nadal received a warning for slow play and still won in 59 minutes against Denis Istomin, 6-1, 6-0. Venus Williams lost her serve eight times and was beaten by No. 10 Dominika Cibulkova 6-1, 5-7, 6-3. Sharapova, meanwhile, endured her second successive ragged three-setter and found herself trailing 4-0 after only 15 minutes. "I usually like playing the first match, but I didnt start off the way I wanted to," she said. "Nothing was working." Seeded No. 4, Sharapova seemed thrown off by the lack of pace from Flipkens, a tour veteran who hits floating backhands and sometimes slices her forehand as well. "Shes a different type of opponent," Sharapova said. "There are not too many girls that hit a slice backhand 90 per cent of the time in the rallies. But I know what to expect from her game. It shouldnt be that much of a surprise." Sharapova finished with 36 unforced errors and only 13 winners. She also double-faulted 10 times. But she won and was ready to leave Crandon Park before most matches had even begun. With the rest of the day free, what was on the schedule for one of the worlds most celebrated athletes? "Not much, actually," Sharapova said. "I like to have my afternoon tea around 5. Its like a Russian tradition. Ill see my dog, spend some time with him, then get treaatment, dinner, and then the day is over. Michael Bennett Jersey. " At the top of her to-do list for the rest of the week is winning her first Key Biscayne title. Sharapova has been the runner-up five times, including each of the past three years, but she downplays any frustration regarding her many near-misses. "Of course you want to be able to hold the winners trophy," she said. "But you also remember the matches that you got through to get in the position to get to the final stage. Its not like I didnt have my opportunities in those finals; I just didnt take them. Thats why you come back and hope for another chance." Williams seems to be gaining momentum as the tournament unfolds, as usual. She overcame sloppy patches in her first two matches and committed only one unforced error in the second set against Vandeweghe. But Williams was impressed with the 22-year-old American, and told her so when they met at the net after the match. "She said, Listen, you played so well. Weve got to play doubles. Wed do so well," Vandeweghe said. Williams next plays No. 5-seeded Angelique Kerber, who beat Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. No. 8 Petra Kvitova rallied past No. 12 Ana Ivanovic, who double-faulted nine times in the final two sets and lost 3-6, 6-0, 6-0. In mens third-round play, No. 10 seed John Isner, the only American to reach the mens third round, hit 17 aces and beat Nicolas Almagro 7-5, 6-3. No. 22-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov rallied from a break down in the final set to beat Dusan Lajovic 3-6, 6-0, 7-6 (5). Dolgopolov has gone 6-1 this month despite his worries about unrest in his native Ukraine, where his mother and other relatives still live. "For me it was important it has calmed down and no people are dying," said Dolgopolov, who was born in Kyiv. "But theres a little bit of chaos still going on, and no one knows who is the ruling party and who is controlling the country. Its a mess."
