DOHA: China opened their Asian Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw against debutants Tajikistan on Saturday, heaping more embarrassment on a country rocked by a football graft scandal at home.
Finalists in 2004, China were largely outplayed by the 106th-ranked team in the world but were left fuming after a late header from Zhu Chenjie was ruled out for offside following a VAR intervention.
Boos from the China fans rang out at the end.
