Wang Shuang shines, and the Asian Cup of The Chinese women's football team ushered in a red start

On the evening of January 20, the opening match of the 2022 Women's Asian Cup kicked off at the Mumbai Football Stadium in Mumbai, India, and the Chinese women's football team easily defeated the Chinese Taipei women's football team 4-0 to win the "opening red" of the event. In the match, China's top star Wang Shuang scored two goals and delivered an assist.

This Asian Cup is the first time that Shui Qingxia has led a team to participate in an international competition since taking over as the coach of The Chinese women's football team. Facing the World No. 39 Chinese Taipei team, the Chinese team started less than 2 minutes by the "post-00s" young player Zhang Linyan to create a penalty, Wang Shuang stepped forward, helping the team to lead 1-0. It is worth mentioning that Wang Shuang made a "heart-to-heart" celebration action after scoring the goal. Just 7 minutes later, captain Wang Shanshan received Gao Chen's cross from the right and broke the goal, and the Chinese team went down to win the dream start.

However, since then, the Chinese Taipei team has strengthened its defense, and the Chinese team failed to extend the results in the first half. Yi Bian fought again, the Chinese team scored in the 53rd minute, Wang Shuang sent a precise direct pass, and Zhang Xin calmly pushed a shot inside the penalty area. In the 67th minute, Wang Shuang seized on the mistake of the opposing defender and scored a powerful shot inside the penalty area to lock the score to 4-0.

According to the schedule, the next Chinese women's football team will face the second group match opponent Iran at 6 p.m. Beijing time on January 23, and at 10:00 Beijing time on January 26, the Chinese team will challenge the host India team in the final game of the group stage. This Asian Cup is also the Asian qualifier for the 2023 Women's World Cup, and the top 5 teams will qualify for the World Cup finals.
