BEIJING, Jan. 16 -- Chinese youth football team conceded a 3-2 defeat to the old rival South Korea in their opening game at an eight-team tournament in Qatar.

    China organized attacks right after the kick-off, anxious to avenge on the Korean counterparts for a 2 nil loss in the final of Asian Youth Championship.

    But the rash offense left Chinese big opening in the defense meanwhile sneak-raid chances for the rivals and Koreans clinched a 2-0 lead less 10 minutes into the game.

    Lu Lin and Wan Cheng scored for China respectively in the two halves.

    China will play Norway in their second group match next Monday.
