The intense exchanges continued for another chapter! The Chinese men's soccer team's offensive firepower is not reduced, in the 64th minute, Wei Xiangxin, who came on as a substitute, fell to the ground after a foul in the penalty area, and the referee decisively blew for a penalty kick. Wei Xiangxin lived up to his name and hit the penalty kick, completing the Chinese men's soccer team's comeback with a 2-1 victory. However, the Korean men's soccer team did not get discouraged, they strengthened the attack, the Chinese men's soccer team's defense caused no small impact. In the 87th minute, the Korean men's soccer team had a good opportunity to take a penalty kick, and Lee Ji Ho scored a goal. As the match entered extra time, the two sides drew 2-2.
Frankly speaking, this game showed fans the light of hope for the Chinese men's soccer team! In the process of suppressing the Korean men's soccer team, they showed their tenacious fighting spirit. Unfortunately, the fruits of victory could not be finally harvested. My personal opinion is that the last penalty kick might have something to do with the temporary substitution strategy of the Chinese men's soccer team. As you can see, the Chinese team had only one substitution opportunity beforehand. The players were on the verge of a physical collapse, and the preparation for the substitution on the sidelines distracted their attention, which led to mistakes in defense. In short, the lack of experience became a constraint.
However, there are opportunities to improve in the future! Even with a draw, we can still advance to the next round! Out of the 10 groups, the second place finishers in the five groups A, B, E, H and J have all conceded goals, and they can't outperform the Chinese men's soccer team. As a result, we managed to lock up a place in the main round of next year's Asian Cup by virtue of finishing second in the five best groups! Congratulations to the Chinese men's soccer team! Let's all look forward to their next exciting performance!
