Siobhan Chamberlain
Ex-England and Man Utd goalkeeper on ITV1It's a no brainer, an obvious red card.
The tackle gets worse every time you see it.
Zhang Rui goes in studs up, very high, and if Jeudy's leg was planted in the ground that is a potential leg breaker.

It all depends if Melchie Dumorney is fit enough. She's on the bench after taking a knock in training.
Haiti could still qualify if they lose against China, but they would need a remarkable win in their final group game against Denmark. So, will Nicolas Delepine risk bringing on his star player?

HT: China 0-0 Haiti
Despite China's red card, Haiti still haven't had a shot and apart from the goal that was flagged as offside, they haven't looked threatening.
Could Melchie Dumorney be brought on to make the difference for Les Grenadieres?
The 19-year-old Lyon midfielder was their most dangerous player in the opening game against England.
Will we see a change from Nicolas Delepine at half-time?
HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:51 British Summer Time 28 July 2023
China 0-0 Haiti
An eventful first-half as China find themselves a player down after Zhang Rui's red card.
Shui Qingxia will be glad her side haven't conceded before the break. Remember, if they lose today they will be out of the World Cup.

Emma Byrne
Former Ireland goalkeeper on ITV1Keeping their best player, Wang Shuang on the bench doesn't really make sense to me, they have to win this game.
I know she arrived late to camp but I can't see the reason for not using her.

Oh no. Haiti thought they had scored their first ever World Cup goal.
Captain Nerilia Mondesir finds herself one on one with China goalkeeper Zhu Yu and she fires the ball into the net. But the assistant referee's flag is up. She's offside.
The wait for Haiti goes on.

Shui Qingxia has been forced to shake things up after Zhang Rui's sending off.
Zhang Xin, who started the first match against Denmark, comes on and it's Lou Jiahui who makes an early exit.

That said, Haiti still haven't had an effort on goal and they've only had one touch in China's box.

That red card for Zhang Rui has given Haiti an extra bit of fight.
They're starting to push further forward now and putting pressure on the Steel Roses' defence.
Could that sending off help Haiti get their first-ever World Cup win?

Former Ireland goalkeeper on ITV1What a silly, silly tackle.
You can see the China players protesting but I think Zhang Rui knows herself that it was a very dangerous tackle, studs up.
Thankfully Sherly Jeudy will be ok to continue for Haiti.
RED CARDpublished at 29 mins

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's a red.
The referee upgrades her decision after seeing Zhang Rui's outstretched studs catch Sherly Jeudy's knee.
China are down to 10 payers. That could be a game-changer.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 28 mins
China 0-0 Haiti
A yellow card for Zhang Rui for a reckless challenge on Sherly Jeudy, who looks to be in a lot of pain.
The referee is going to the monitor. Could it be a red?

It's complete dominance from China but they just can't break the deadlock at the moment.
The Steel Roses have had 72.9% possession in the first 25 minutes.

That wasn't too far off from China's Yang Lina from a long-range free-kick, but the ball was always curling wide and Kerly Theus watches it out for a goal-kick.

Tabita Joseph sells Kerly Theus short with a deft pass and China nearly capitalise on it, but Theus recovers in time to block it and put it out for a corner.

Ouch. That looked like a move out of a wrestling match.
Yang Lina wipes out Batcheba Louis in the middle of the pitch and both players go down.
Both players take a minute to catch a breather and then they're up and ready to play on.

Now, that would have been a spectacular goal from Lou Jiahui.
It's almost a bicycle-kick, except she never really gets off the ground and the shot is lacklustre, calmly collected by Kerly Theus.
