Zambia captain Barbra Banda scored a second successive hat-trick as the African nation drew 4-4 with the Women’s Football event of the ongoing Tokyo Olympic games.
Wang Shuang scored all four for China, who had Li Qingtong sent off.
In a frantic and entertaining game, the African debutants came from 3-1 down before leading 4-3 with six minutes to go.
Wang then equalised before centre-back Li was shown a straight red card for denying Banda a clear goalscoring opportunity.
An eventful match featured two penalties, while an earlier China goal was disallowed by the video assistant referee for offside.
Both teams had lost their opening games.
