Football: Socceroo Friendly 24/03/2007: The Australian senior men's football team, the Socceroos, with a superior first half display won 2-0 over China in Guangzhou.

Despite China having the best of play after half time, the Australian defence did not allow for many serious shots on goal by the Chinese. A multitude of second half substitutions gave several more players some first team match experience but eventually took its toll of the match as a spectacle.
