Tonight, the women's Asian Cup played an eight-round elimination match, and finally the Chinese team won 3-1 against Vietnam with Wang Shuang's 1 shot and 2 passes, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of this tournament. In the previous group stage, the Chinese team had a smooth ride, scoring 11 goals and conceding 0 goals after winning the first two matches, and locked the top spot in the group early. Counting the victory in this game, the Chinese team has scored 14 goals in 3 games and conceded only 1 goal in this Asian Cup.
In the knockout round, the Chinese team faced the Vietnamese team, although a game that seemed to be a disparity in strength, but it was tested at the beginning. In the 11th minute, the Vietnamese team launched an attack on the right side, and the Chinese team No. 13 Yang Lina made a mistake in the backcourt and kicked the ball to the feet of the opponent No. 7 Nguyen Thi XueRong, who slightly adjusted his foot to shoot long-range, and the ball pierced through the gate guarded by Zhu Yu, giving the Vietnamese team a 1-0 lead over the Chinese team.
Then the Chinese team began to attack continuously, and finally got the equalising opportunity in the 25th minute, when Wang Shanshan crossed from the bottom, the ball was saved by the Vietnamese goalkeeper in front of the goal, fortunately Wang Shuang appeared in the key position in time to shoot the ball into the empty goal, and the Chinese team equalized in the first half.
In the second half of the game, fully into the control time of the Chinese team, in the 51st minute, Wang Shuang took the ball on the right side of the road to cut inside, picked out the penalty area to find Wang Shanshan, who took the ball and turned around to shoot, the ball flew straight into the dead corner of the goal, and the Chinese team overtook 2-1. Wang Shuang's assist performance is not over, only 1 minute later, she contributed assists again. At that time, she took the ball to the big penalty area to kick back, Tang Jiali on the left side of the road inserted a gap, Wang Shuang decisively straight, Tang Jiali received and buckled the defender, right foot shot to break the goal, to help the Chinese team lead to 3-1.
Neither team scored again, and in the end, the Chinese team won 3-1 against the opponent and successfully advanced. It also made a good start for the national football team against Vietnam two days later.
It is worth mentioning that in the whole game, the Chinese team actually scored the opponent's goal a total of 6 times, but unfortunately was blown out by the referee 3 times, namely Wang Shuang's two offside positions and Yang Lina's collision with the goalkeeper in the second half. This can be reflected that the Chinese team occupies a complete initiative in the game.
In this game, Wang Shuang once again showed his MVP strength, in the case of the team falling behind, 1 person made 3 goals to complete the reversal, of which the second half was completed within 1 minute to complete two assists. Before the game, she revealed in an interview that she was 27 years old, and she still hoped that she could stay in the West for a second time and continue to improve, after all, the development space in China was still limited. Since the Olympic Games, there have been many rumors that she will stay in the Ocean again, but now that the European winter window is close, it has not been realized, and seeing teammates Tang Jiali and others playing so well in Europe, Wang Shuang will naturally be envious.
After the Chinese women's football team reaches the final four, their opponent will be the winning hot Japanese team, which swept Thailand 7-0 in the earlier match, with Sugazawa Yuika playing the senior year.
