The first semi-final of the Asian Cup was contested, with South Korea taking on the Philippines. As a result, the South Korean team scored two goals in the first half, and finally won the Philippines with a score of 2-0, taking the lead in the final. If China can pass the Japanese level in the slightly later semi-finals, it will face South Korea in the final. However, the team's beauty star Li Wei'e ignored the Chinese team. As early as last November, she had promised to beat Japan to win the Asian Cup.
As the new upstart of Asian women's football, South Korean women's football has risen very quickly in recent years. Led by Chelsea women's football core Chi Xiaoran, South Korea won 3-0 against Vietnam in the group stage, beat Myanmar 2-0, and drew 1-1 with Japan in the final match. In the knockout rounds, they faced the australian team, which is the favorite to win the championship and is now ranked second in Asia. As a result, the South Korean team was unexpected, and broke into the semifinals with the help of Chi Xiaoran's world wave to kill opponents.
In the semi-final in the afternoon, the South Korean team showed an overwhelming advantage, scoring a goal by Cho Joo-hyun in just 3 minutes of the opening game, and 30 minutes later, Sun Huaran extended the score to 2-0. In the second half, the South Korean team made consecutive substitutions, including the beautiful actress Lee Hyun-eun, who was popular with Chinese fans, who was threatening with a long-range shot before the final. In the end, the South Korean team won 2-0 to advance to the final. According to the data, the South Korean team has a staggering 72% possession rate and a 11-6 lead in the number of shots on goal. It can be seen that the South Korean team won this game deservedly.
More importantly, the South Korean team won this game and set two records: 1. The Korean women's football team reached the final of the Asian Cup for the first time in history; 2, the knockout round did not lose 1 goal to reach the final, which is also the best result in the history of the Korean women's football team.
Due to the late goal of the Sino-Japanese war, it can be said that the opponent of the South Korean team in the final is still unknown. But Li Wei'e said in November last year that she wanted to beat Japan to win the championship, and she did not even mention the Australian and Chinese teams that beat them in the Olympic preliminaries. It is worth mentioning that the current South Korean team ranks 18th in the world and fourth in Asia, whether in the world or in Asia, it is only 1 place higher than the Chinese team.
