The AFC Women’s Asian Cup opened with two matches on FRI 06 APR 2018, and the results left host nation Jordan with a massive challenge.

• China PR 04-00 Thailand: SONG Duan scored twice in the second half as China PR demonstrated why they are favoured in Group A.
• Jordan 01-02 Philippines: Maysa JBARAH put Jordan in front after fifteen minutes and narrowly missed a second just before halftime. But an own goal brought the Philippines level early in the second half, and Sarina BOLDEN found the winner for the visitors off a through ball from Hali LONG late on. A top of the table clash between China PR and the Philippines awaits on Monday, as Thailand and Jordan face off to get their campaigns back on track.
