Chinese Zhang Yanlin scores in debut of Swiss Nationalliga A

GENEVA, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese striker Zhang Yanlin scored in her debut at the Swiss women's football league Nationalliga A to help the Grasshopper FC Zurich beat Zurich Frauen 2-0 on Saturday.

Zhang, who was on loan with the Grasshopper for a year, started the 3rd-round match and scored in the 50th minute to seal the victory, as the Grasshopper collected the maximum nine points to lead the standings.

The 21-year-old Chinese played for Wuhan women's club in China before joining the Grasshopper last month. She won the Asian Cup with China after she scored the second goal in the 3-2 final victory over South Korea in India in February.
