The Chinese national team shook hands with South Korea in a 1-1 draw in the U15 East Asian Football Championship. After four rounds of group play, we topped the table with 10 points and a goal difference of 42 with 3 wins and 1 draw, securing the top spot in the group. In the 95th minute of the match, we had a chance to kill our opponents, but we missed the chance to win. !

In the 24th minute, Yang Qiandong scored a goal for his team with his keen insight and calm shot, temporarily taking a 1-0 lead. However, in the 34th minute, our defense made a mistake and Korea's Jang Yeo-han took advantage of the situation to equalize the score at 1-1. In the following game, the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, but neither side was able to rewrite the score again. !

Unfortunately, Hu Xiwen was too impatient on his one-touch chance in the 95th minute, resulting in a shot that was parried by the opposing goalkeeper. Seeing this scene, Hu held his head in pain and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match. !

The victory was a welcome relief, and a 2-1 win for us would certainly have been the icing on the cake. In fact, we can't be too hard on Hu Xiwen, as our top striker Wu Lei often misses one-touch chances in national team matches as well!
