The battle is in full swing! Our men's soccer team showed unyielding fighting spirit! The match entered the 64th minute, substitute Wei Xiangxin was violated by the opponent in the penalty area and fell to the ground, the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Wei Xiangxin steadily shot the ball into the net, helping China's men's soccer team to reverse the score 2-1. Immediately after, behind the South Korean team launched a fierce counterattack, increased the intensity of the press, China's men's football defense slightly panicked. In the 87th minute, South Korea seized the opportunity to get a penalty kick, and Lee Ji Hao scored at once. As the game entered extra time, the two sides finally shook hands with 2-2.
Frankly speaking, this tournament our men's soccer team let fans see a ray of hope! It was not easy to suppress the Korean team! The only regret was not being able to seal the victory. Of course, my opinion on the penalty kick was that it might have something to do with the substitutions that our men's soccer team was about to make. We noticed that our men's soccer team had only used the substitution slot once in the previous match. The physical exhaustion of the players on the field and the need to prepare for substitutions on the bench distracted the players and led to a breakdown in defense. In short, there was a lack of real-world experience.
No need to be discouraged, there is room for improvement in the future! Even if we draw, we can still advance! Because in the 10 groups, the second place finishers in 5 groups - A, B, E, H and J - have all had losing records, and they can't outperform our men's soccer team. Thus, our men's soccer team was able to lock the ticket for the main round of the Asian Cup next year by finishing second in the 5 best groups! Congratulations to our men's soccer team! Keep up the good work!
