But Canada managed to claw its way back with two in the fifth end before stealing four in the sixth to take their first lead of the game 7-5. 

After falling behind 5-1, Canada scored 7 unanswered points, highlighted a steal of 4 in the 6th end, to hand China their first loss of the Paralympics 8-5.2:09
