On February 3, the semi-final of the Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team faced the Japanese team, and the core of the Chinese team, Wang Shuang, was on standby because she was on the sidelines, so she did not start in this key battle. The japanese women's football team has remained unbeaten in the last four meetings between the two sides, and the last time the Chinese women's football team won was in the 2016 Rio Olympic Qualifiers. At the Asian Cup level, the last time the Chinese women's football team beat Japan was in 2008. In terms of overall strength, the Japanese team has the advantage, but the Chinese women's football team also has the opportunity to advance to the final.
It is worth mentioning that the Asian Cup semi-final of the Chinese women's football team against the Japanese women's football team was not broadcast live, and the TV station broadcast the winter Olympic games. The online platform needs to pay, and the national team game needs to be paid, which is indeed relatively rare.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese women's football team did not have many opportunities, most of the time in the state of defensive counterattack, the Japanese team occupied the advantage of the scene. Riko Ueki's one-handed ball flew away, and then Riko Ueki's push was slightly off the goal, and the Japanese women's football team had many opportunities.
Until the 25th minute, the Japanese team scored, Miyazawa Hinata broke through to the bottom line, and Riko Ueki scored with a header, and the Chinese women's football team fell behind 0-1.
After that, the Chinese women's football team launched a counterattack, and Wang Xiaoxue and Yao Lingwei's consecutive shots were unfortunately deflected out of the bottom line. Although there is a gap in strength in the Chinese women's football team, it has not given up and is full of resilience.
Chinese female footballer Lou Jiahui collided with the Japanese player and fell to the ground in pain, she almost injured, and continued to fight. At the end of the first half, the Chinese women's football team still trailed Japan 0-1.
It can be seen that the difficulties encountered by the Chinese women's football team in this game are still very large, and the Japanese women's football team, as the world's top team, is also the biggest hot candidate for winning the Asian Cup, and the strength is also much higher than the Chinese women's football team. Of course, the Chinese women's football team still has a chance, and it is also expected that coach Shui Qingxia will adjust and change next.
