China reached the World Cup finals for the first time on Sunday by beating Oman 1-0 in an Asian qualifier, setting off a frenzy of celebration by hundreds of millions of ecstatic soccer fans around the country.
A nervous Chinese display and cold drizzle did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of 60,000 fans who packed the stadium in the depressed industrial city of Shenyang, many of them sporting red headbands and painted faces and banging drums.The single goal in the 37th minute by midfielder Yu Genwei, replacing the suspended Qi Hong, was just enough to break a World Cup jinx going all the way back to 1957, when China first entered the premier soccer competition.China have now secured top spot in Asian Zone group B with two games to spare, which means automatic qualification for the finals in Japan
