A sudden change in the battlefield! The Chinese men's soccer team is back in action! In the 64th minute, substitute Wei Xiangxin was fouled in the penalty area and the referee decided to award a penalty kick. Wei Xiangxin scores a goal, and the Chinese men's soccer team turns the game around 2-1. Immediately after, the Korean men's soccer team fell behind the full force of the counterattack, intensive pressing made the Chinese defense line fluctuations. Until the 87th minute, the Korean men's soccer team also got a good opportunity to take a penalty kick, and Li Zhihao hit the ball. As the game entered extra time, the two sides ended up with a 2-2 draw.
In this match, the Chinese men's soccer team, despite the defeat, let the fans see a new hope! It was a rare performance in the face of Korea's impressive defense. The only flaw is that they failed to secure the victory. As for the last-minute penalty kick, I think it has something to do with the team's substitution strategy. I observed that the Chinese team only had one substitution left in the game, and the players were close to their physical limit, while the preparation of substitutions on the bench distracted the players on the field, resulting in a negligent defense. In short, the lack of experience was evident.
However, there is still hope for the future! Even with a draw, we still have hopes of qualifying! In the 10 groups, the second best group of five - A, B, E, H and J - have all conceded goals, and it is difficult for them to surpass China's record. In this way, the Chinese men's soccer team has managed to lock its ticket to the main round of the Asian Cup by virtue of being second in the five best groups! Congratulations to the Chinese men's soccer team! Let's keep cheering for you!
