Chiwendu Ihezuo and Onome Ebi were the heroines as Henan Huishang defeated Sichuan 2-1 in a Chinese Women's Championship play-off clash.
Having narrowly missed out of a quarter-final spot, Henan were aiming to end strongly in the 9th-12th place playoffs on Tuesday.
Ihezuo opened the scoring for Henan with a fine finish in the first half, but a few moments after the restart Sichuan levelled matters from the penalty spot.
In the final 15 minutes, Ebi was redeployed to the attack and she wasted no time to reward gaffer as her late header ensured her side's victory.
