Then a major blow was struck! Zhang Linpeng was injured in an unopposed situation and was replaced by Zhu Chenjie.
Japan then took control of the game. The game turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill, with Japan attacking with all their might.

All back on defense. Japan's goal came in the 39th minute, however.

It took less than 40 minutes to top off the game, but eventually the goal was lost. The goal was a simple side-to-side play.

The left side of the pitch, which was frequently thundering, was ripped open by Japan, and Junya Ito sent in a beautiful cross for Isao Osako to grab the goal!
Japan went into the second half with a one-goal lead.

There was basically no possession and it made sense to concede.
The second half is back on the field.

Finally in the 62nd minute a key substitution was made, Alan, Luo Guofu and Artemisia came on the field. We witnessed a historic moment: four naturalized players, Ackerson, Alan, Luo Guofu and Jiang Guangtai were on the field at the same time. It was obvious that, with the Japanese team somewhat depleted in physical strength

The offense picked up a bit, the naturalized players were fighting hard, Luo Guofu was creating a decent threat on the left side, and we were finally able to see the face of the Japanese goalkeeper, and the Japanese defense was starting to get a bit caught off guard.
It is worth mentioning that the former

This main attacking formation was set up and Japan played a defensive counter. In the end, the score remained 1-0 until the end of the match.

A narrow 1 goal loss to Japan is an acceptable scoreline. The Japanese manager is worthy of Mori Boichi's name, and it's always 1-0 whether you lose or win.

The strategic purpose of this game is to achieve, although the loss of the goal is a little bit of a pity, but the overall strength of the two sides of the gap is too large, the victory is almost no suspense.
Li Tie (1977-), footballer
This substitution adjustment is actually good, Alan, Luo Guofu came up obviously gave the Japanese back line threat, once had the opportunity to score.
After two rounds.
