"It was a very disappointing result for us, we deserved three points," said China's coach Marcello Lippi.
"Our performance in the first half was not that good, but we did a very good job in the second half and turned the game around.
"Unfortunately, the referee changed the game. I don't understand why he made that call. It was a fatal decision for us." The Italian said with a upset body language.
