Defending champions China defeated Taiwan 2-0 in extra time at the Women's Asian Cup quarterfinal in Perth on March 14, 2026, securing a spot in the semifinals against Australia and direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup. Shao Ziqin scored the first goal in the 94th minute, followed by an own goal from Taiwan's Chen Ying-hui. China will be without Wang Shuang in the semifinal due to a yellow card suspension. Taiwan will now compete in a playoff against North Korea for a chance to qualify for the World Cup. The match carried political significance due to China's claim over Taiwan, which competes as "Chinese Taipei" in international events.
