In the first round of the 2022 East Asian Cup, the Chinese men's soccer team and the South Korean men's soccer team started a fierce battle. At halftime, an unexpected hole appeared in China's defense, and Zhu Chenjie was unfortunate enough to set up an own goal, making the score 0-1, with China temporarily trailing South Korea.
In the 54th minute, Hwang In-beom sent a precise cross from the right rib, Kim Jin-soo quickly finished a header from the left side of the box, and Kwon Chang-hoon easily finished a shot from the front of the box. With this goal, Kwon Chang-hoon reached 12 goals in his national team career, while China fell further behind with a score of 0-2.
The loss of the ball, the Chinese team in the penalty area of the first and second point failed to touch the ball, when the South Korean team launched an attack, the Chinese team all 11 players back to the front of the penalty area to defend, the penalty area surprisingly there are 8 players involved in the defense, compared to the South Korean team has only 4 players in the penalty area to launch an attack.
This situation undoubtedly reveals the gap between the two sides in terms of strength.
