In the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team played against the Japanese women's football team. In the 103rd minute of extra time, the Chinese women's football team conceded a goal and fell behind 1-2. The players raised their hands collectively at the first time, but after the review of VAR, they decided that the goal was valid, which was a pity.
In regular time, the two sides are tied 1-1. In the 26th minute, the Japanese women's soccer team scored a goal first, and Riko Ueki made a contribution. Just 1 minute into the second half, the Chinese women's soccer team equalized, and Xiao Yuyi assisted Wu Chengshu to break the goal. The Chinese women's football team is really too difficult, the number one star Wang Shuang is absent, and lou Jiahui was seriously injured and carried down on a stretcher, but despite this, the girls still withstood the pressure and dragged the game into overtime.
Just at the end of the first half of extra time, the Chinese women's football team was in front of the goal, first hit the upright, then gave the opponent a good free kick, and finally lost the city gate. It was Riko Ueki who scored the goal, and she staged a second-degree good play.
Let's take a look at this goal first. It's not a clever tactic, it's just driving near the penalty spot and competing for the top header, but Riko Ueki's running position is too good. After losing the ball, almost all the players of the Chinese women's football team raised their hands to signal that the other party was offside, and the Japanese women's football team did not dare to celebrate too much, waiting for the review of the VAR video referee.
Judging from the freeze-frame picture given in the follow-up, the Chinese women's football team is really too unlucky. There was a Japanese player at the far end who was offside, but it wasn't she who attacked. The position of the red circle is the key, we have one person dragging behind the leg, Ueki Riko just did not offside, so the goal worked, unfortunately.
Overtime, 103 minutes, survived to this point and suddenly conceded the ball, you can imagine how much of a blow to morale, this may be a killer. Regardless of the final win or loss, throughout the course of the whole game, the Chinese women's football team deserves applause and respect.
