PARIS - Chinese Olympic team posted a resounding 4-1 victory over French Ligue 3 side FC Avignon in the fifth match of their current European tour.

China were forced to come back from a goal down when striker Gao Lin equalized soon after the interval. Three minutes later Gao grabbed his brace to put the team ahead.

Striker Jiang Ning brought up the score to 3-1 and it was Dai Qinhua who wrapped up the win.

China coach Ratomir Dujkovic was delighted with his team's performance.
