Kyrgyzstan stunned China in the first half and went 1-0 ahead in the 42nd minute through midfielder Akhlidin Israilov who sent a low left-foot shot just outside the box.
However, the 50th minute witnessed a dramatic corner kick in which Kyrgyz goalkeeper Pavel Matiash tipped the ball into own net when he jumped high to try to defend.
China's midfielder Yu Dabao sent the ball into the open net in the 78th minute after he dashed into the box and danced past keeper Matiash.
