Jennifer Hermoso nailed the best first-half chance for La Roja, nodding towards the Chinese goal with a tight angle following a Virginia Torrecilla cross to force keeper Peng Shimeng dive to save in the 39th minute.
The very fast Spaniards pushed even harder on China's defense after the break, but Gu Yasha, Liu Shanshan and Wu Haiyan were doing a good clearance job and goalie Peng, who's later voted Player of the Match, carried out a heroic performance.
