Due to this year's Women's Asian Cup, CCTV5 did not broadcast live. As a result, many fans, especially older fans, are unable to pay attention to it, or are not aware of the existence of this event. In fact, just today, February 3, 2022, Beijing time, the Indian Women's Asian Cup has reached the semi-finals in "silent and silent".
The first two teams to kick off the semi-finals were the South Korean women's team that defeated the powerful Australian team in the quarter-finals, and the Philippines, the team that fans said was the most fishy team in the semifinals. In fact, the Philippine women's football team is not only a fish belly team in the consciousness of fans, she is also a super dark horse in this Asian Cup. In the group stage, the Philippines team was in the same group as the Australian, Thai and Indonesian women's teams. In the first match, they defeated the more powerful Thai women's football team, which ranked 26th higher than itself in the world. He then defeated the weakest Indonesian women's team 6-0 to advance to the quarter-finals as the second in the group.
Then in the quarter-finals, they drew 1-1 with their opponents, the Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team, who were ranked 25th higher than themselves in the world. Then, the penalty kicks 4-3 advanced to the semi-finals. Although the strength of the Philippine women's football team and the South Korean women's football team can not be compared, it is no longer the belly of the fans. It's just like in previous years, our national football team looked down on Thailand and Vietnam. In recent years, the Philippine men's and women's football team has developed rapidly, and it is not excluded that in the next few years, it will become a strong opponent of Chinese men's and women's football.
Speaking of the Philippine women's football team, let's look back at the semi-final of the Women's Asian Cup. Because of the super dark horse of the Philippine women's football team, the difference in strength with the Korean women's football team is too far. After only 3 minutes of the match, he was caught off guard by the South Korean team and fell behind 0-1, and then conceded another goal in the 33rd minute of the game, leaving the South Korean team 0-2 early. It can be said that at the end of the first half of the game, the fate of the Philippine women's football team has been determined. However, they did not give up like the Chinese men's football team.
Back in the second half of the game, facing the South Korean women's football team, which was N times stronger than themselves, the Philippine team actually defended until the end and did not concede another goal. It can be said that it shows the appearance and spirit that football should have. In this game, although the South Korean women's football team has always controlled the ball, the Filipino women's football girls still spelled out some opportunities. Formed 5 chances to hit the goal, including 1 kick. In the end, after 90 minutes, the South Korean women's football team advanced to the final 2-0 Philippine women's football team. Waiting, the winner of the Japanese women's football team and the Chinese women's football team this evening will meet in the final.
Although the Korean women's football team won this game, I admire the spirit of the Philippine women's football team not to give up. They played like this against the South Korean women's soccer team, which is 46th higher than themselves in the world ranking, and they have won for themselves. Unlike the Chinese men's soccer team, Vietnam, which is slightly weaker than itself, is listless in the face of Vietnam, which is ranked 24th lower than itself. In the end, not only was it 1-3 against the opponent, but it was also crushed in the whole field.
