On the evening of June 11th, Beijing time, the top 36 of the Asian preliminaries of the World Cup ushered in the final round of competition. The Chinese men's football team once again faced a life-or-death battle and challenged the South Korean team away.
At the end of the first 5 rounds, the national football team is temporarily 3 points ahead of Thailand and ranked second in the group. But in the final round, Thailand faced Singapore at home, and the game will be played later. The national football team can only qualify directly by scoring points on the road. Otherwise, if Thailand wins, it will depend on the goal difference.
Although the South Korean team has already qualified, it still has fighting spirit. The team needs to win to consolidate Asia's third ranking and then get a seeding seat in the top 18.
After the opening, the national football team focused on defense. The pace of the game was quite slow and the Korean team did not have many opportunities. After 25 minutes, the national football team gradually started to attack, and Fernando was brought down by defensive players three times.
It is worth noting that Sun Xingmin made a 3-0 gesture towards the stands of Chinese football fans, which was quite provocative. At the end of the first half, the two teams ended in a goalless draw. In terms of shooting, the South Korean team has a 5-2 advantage.
In the second half of the game, the Korean team continued to strengthen its offense.
In the 61st minute, there was a loophole in the Chinese team's defense. Li Gangren scored and the national football team fell behind 0-1.
