The teams that conceded the most goals came from regions where professional soccer is underdeveloped. For example, Guizhou U18 Men's Soccer Team scored 2 goals and conceded 8 in 3 matches to finish second from bottom in Group B, while Inner Mongolia U18 Men's Soccer Team conceded 18 goals and didn't score a single goal in 3 matches to finish second from bottom in Group E. Hainan U18 Men's Soccer Team also conceded 20 goals in 4 matches to finish at the bottom of Group G!
Surprisingly, Henan and Tianjin are also the only two teams among the 16 teams in the Chinese Super League that did not advance to the tournament. Tianjin finished dead last in Group D, while Henan finished third in Group B. The two traditional powerhouses of the Chinese Super League were the first to qualify for the Games. These two traditional powerhouses of the Chinese Super League failed to show their strength and rankings in the qualifying rounds of the men's soccer tournament for the first three major games.
