On January 27, Beijing time, the 7th round of Group B of the Round of 12 continued, Australia defeated Vietnam 4-0, and the national football team lost 0-2 away to Japan. In this way, the national football team not only missed the top two places in the group in advance, but also only had mathematical hope left in the play-offs, and was out after 6 days at the earliest.
Before the start of the national football match, Australia met the weakest Vietnam, and there was no suspense in the game. In the whole game, Australia's possession rate exceeded 60%, the number of shots on goal was 16-8, which was twice that of Vietnam, and the number of shots was 7-2, and it was not too much to say that it was all-round hanging.
In the first half, Rogic scored a pass, and in the second half Goodwin and McGrey scored two goals in a row, Australia won 4-0, and doubled Vietnam in two legs. After this campaign, Australia's points reached 14 points.
Australia's victory is not good news for Japan and the national football team. Facing the 2nd place in Asia, the national football team did not have any counterforce, and Li Xiaopeng was very helpless. Less than 15 minutes into the opening, Wang Shenchao sent a handball in the penalty area, and in the second half, Ito Jun also expanded the score, and the national football team lost 0-2.
This 0-2 defeat has allowed the national football team to continue the embarrassment of 24 years of defeat against Japan, and the last victory over the other side was in 1998. Of course, more desperate than the result is the process, only in the first half, the national football team was wildly shot by the Japanese team 9 feet, and it was 0 shots on goal. After 90 minutes, the shooting ratio was dazzling 2-15 and the shooting ratio was 0-6! It must be pointed out that the national football team battle 0 shots on goal.
After these two games, Japan came to 15 points, Australia had 14 points, and the national football team still had only 5 points. With three rounds left in the game, the national football team is as many as 10 points away from the 2nd place in the group, and has lost the hope of directly qualifying for the World Cup in advance.
At the same time, the national football team was thrown away by Australia by 9 points, and the goal difference was 15. If the national football team still wants to qualify for the play-offs, then the last 3 games must be won, Australia must lose all, and Australia will have to lose a big score. In other words, the national football team only has mathematical theoretical hope left, and it needs a super miracle to achieve a counterattack.
According to the schedule, the national football team will play Against Vietnam on February 1, and Australia will play Oman away at 0:00 on February 2, and we may only have 6 days left to completely get out.
