At the summit, the Dutch team stood tall on top of the world, having been honored with fourth and third place, and now competing for the top spot again. China's women's soccer team performed a visual feast. Just six minutes in, Chen Yi opened the scoring for No. 7 in the women's game with a brilliant goal. 1:0, we were deadlocked for 51 minutes. From the moment she scored, the Chinese Women's Quartet switched between offense and defense to consolidate their victory.
For the first 51 minutes, they were perfect, but unfortunately, after more than half an hour, the light of victory seemed to be fading away. When there was 9:16 left in the last quarter of the game, a foul by the Chinese Women's Quarterback gave away the fourth short corner kick. The Dutch then capitalized on the opportunity and the two sides were tied 1-1. With the deadlock unresolved, a penalty kick shootout ensued.
In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Ye Jiao was not able to prevent the miracle from happening. The Dutch team scored three times in four shots on goal, while the Chinese women's song scored only one goal in four shots on goal, regrettably completing the ultimate reversal and taking the silver medal. What is more regrettable is that in the last moment of the game, China Women's Quartet nearly overturned the game, but due to the major controversial decision of the European referee, missed the opportunity to kill.
When there were 40.3 seconds left in the game, the referee awarded us a short corner kick. Originally, the Chinese Women's Quarter was expected to seal the victory with a short corner kick in the next round. However, after the Dutch Women's Zone appealed for a review, the referee changed the decision and canceled our short corner kick opportunity. This judgment seems especially unfair. The referee's controversial decision made the Chinese Women's Quarter miss the chance of the last strike.
At the end of the game, the girls of the Chinese women's song were in tears on the field. Many of them embraced each other tightly and were overwhelmed with grief. Facing the world's number one, there is no shame in defeat. 16 years later, the Chinese women's opera returned to the Olympic final, 16 years after winning the silver medal, creating the best performance in history. But the gold medal, but only one step away. Such an ending, who can not feel a trace of regret? Even with the loss, the girls of the women's song still with tears, take the initiative to thank the field, leaving the field with dignity.
Against the wind, blossomed, the pride of China, we look forward to the Chinese women's song again brilliant.
