Indonesia had been at the bottom of the table, but gave Asian powerhouse Saudi Arabia a surprising 0-2 defeat.
It was a frustrating result for Australia to shake hands with their opponents 2-2 with Bahrain in second last place.
Against this backdrop, the national soccer team found a silver lining in the face of adversity, not allowing Saudi Arabia and Australia to pull away from the deficit, but instead keeping it close, and fortunately picking up key assists.
Despite the loss in the match, the national soccer team is by no means in a desperate situation. The upcoming 7th round of the tournament will be a crucial time for the national soccer team to fight for points.
Based on the matchups in the 7th round, the national soccer team will face the sluggish Saudi Arabia, and the possibility of winning at least one point, or even all three points, should not be underestimated.
Why this judgment?
The Saudi Arabia team has internal and external difficulties, the competition in the domestic league is fierce, many Saudi players rarely have the opportunity to play. In addition to the recent change of manager, the preparation time is insufficient and the team is not well integrated.
In addition, the national football team was able to fully rest, but the FA missed two important opportunities to support it.
On the one hand, it is promised that the start of the next season's Chinese Super League will be staggered with the seventh round of the 18-team tournament to ensure that the national football team will have sufficient training time. On the other hand, the naturalization of players to make substantial progress, Brazilian player Sergio to join the possibility of a great increase in the former Cangzhou Lions foreign aid Oscar's naturalization of the road is also smoother.
It is expected that if two strong reinforcements are successfully introduced before March next year, the national soccer team will be like a tiger with wings, and the probability of scoring on the road will be greatly improved.
Elsewhere in Round 7, Bahrain are expected to suffer a heavy defeat away to Japan and could be the first team to be eliminated.
Australia have the upper hand on Indonesia, who will be reduced to a second underperforming team if they take all three points.
It's not looking good for the Aussies to follow that up with a second match against Japan, where the risk of defeat is still there.
Against the national football team, the most optimistic prediction for the remaining four matches is to draw Saudi Arabia on the road, go undefeated against Australia at home, and then achieve a double against Indonesia and Bahrain, thus earning two wins and two draws and amassing eight points to advance directly to the World Cup with 14 points.
Even if the unexpected happens, hopes of advancing to the next round remain high as long as they can get more than 10 points and finish in the top four.
