On February 1, Beijing time, the eighth round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 continued to compete. In a focus battle in Group A, Syria played at home against South Korea. After 90 minutes of competition, South Korea defeated Syria 2-0 away and advanced to the World Cup two rounds earlier, while Syria was declared out of the world cup two rounds earlier.
In the last round of matches, the Asian boss Iran took the lead in the World Cup three rounds in advance, and Vietnam became the top 12 team in the first game after losing to Australia. In this round of matches, the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam, becoming the second team after Vietnam. In the pre-match Group A standings, South Korea was second with 17 points, Syria was at the bottom with 2 points, and the UAE, which was third in the group, was nine points. Therefore, this game is very crucial for both sides, south Korea can lock up a World Cup place as long as it wins, and Syria will be out of the round 2 if it loses.
In this game, the Syrian team's backline can not be described as tenacious, but the strength is indeed a cut away from the South Korean team, and the South Korean team still occupies the initiative in the absence of Son Heung-min. In the first half, Syria successfully kept a clean sheet against South Korea. But in the second half, the South Korean team took the game away in a wave. In the 53rd minute, Kim Jin-so's goal broke the deadlock and South Korea took a 1-0 lead. In the 71st minute, Kwon Chang-hoon extended the score with a long-range shot to make it 2-0, and the South Korean team sealed the victory, and the Korean fans on the sidelines had already celebrated in advance.
After this match, South Korea qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, becoming the second team to qualify for the Round of 12 after Iran to qualify for the World Cup. At the same time, this is the 11th time that south Korea has reached the World Cup, and it is also the 10th consecutive time that South Korea has reached the World Cup. Since 1986, the South Korean team has never missed a World Cup final. In this round of 12, the South Korean team did not sign well, and was surrounded by 5 teams in West Asia. At that time, some fans also joked that the Korean team would be eliminated by the West Asian team, but we did not expect that we were out of the round 2 in advance, and the Korean team was out of the round 2 in advance.
The Syrian team, as the former bitter lord of the national football team, failed to continue the dark horse this time. After 8 rounds, they only drew 2 draws and 6 losses and accumulated 2 points, bidding farewell to the World Cup in advance, and the results were even worse than the Vietnamese team. Although the Syrian team qualified in a wave of 7 consecutive wins in the top 40, after losing to the national football team in the last round, the manager and the Syrian Football Association completely broke up, and the firefighting coach was difficult to turn the tide. Over the years, the Syrian team has been constantly attrition in infighting, and now it is the third team in the third expenditure bureau after the national football team. As the saying goes, successful teams are roughly the same, and losing teams have their own failures.
