On June 13th, Beijing time, in a fierce battle in Group H of the Asian qualifying round of 40, South Korea, even though they were on the "road", still beat Lebanon with a thrilling reversal of 2-1, and succeeded in advancing to the round of 12 as the first team in the group. Although Lebanon still has a chance to qualify, in the competition for the second place in each group, the Chinese team in Group A, which has not yet completed all the matches, has already left behind the Lebanese team by virtue of the absolute advantage of goal difference. Similarly, the second-placed team in Group F has suffered the same fate. This means that, in the case of the host Qatar team has locked the top of Group E, the Chinese team's road to promotion has been changed from "five seats in the top eight" to "five seats in the top six", thus greatly increasing the chances of getting out of the line.
Lebanon's situation has fallen behind China's
On the afternoon of June 13, South Korea completed a 2-1 comeback against Lebanon, relying on a stunning performance by star player Son. As of this moment, the Lebanese team has accumulated 10 points in the second place of the group standings. Although they are on the same starting line with China, who have the same 10 points, the goal difference disadvantage puts them in a disadvantageous position in the fight for the ticket to the Round of 12 due to fewer rounds of matches. This means that China is already in a favorable position to advance to the Round of 12.
