In the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team equalized twice after falling behind twice, and finally after the captain Wang Shanshan drew in extra time, she made up her mind in the penalty shootout, and the Chinese women's football team defeated the defending champion Japan women's football team 6-5 to advance to the final.
The two round of 12 matches of the Chinese men's football team were broadcast live by CCTV, but they did not broadcast the matches of the Chinese women's football team, and it is a pity that they missed this miracle night perfectly. This miraculous reversal has allowed the Chinese women's football team to return to the final of the Asian Cup after 14 years.
CCTV Sports angrily praised "China's women's football team is good" on the official Weibo and was criticized for rubbing heat, and people's daily said that Chinese women's football team has set an example.
It is understood that this year's Women's Asian Cup set a prize money for the first time, with the champion having $1 million and the runner-up having $500,000. The Chinese women's football team, which has now reached the final, has a guaranteed prize of 500,000 US dollars, equivalent to 3.2 million yuan. Ironically, this is only half of the prize money for the Chinese men's football team to win a single game in the round of 12, and as a result, the Chinese men's football team can not get this bonus against vietnam's former fish belly team.
In another semi-final, South Korea beat the Philippines 2-0 to advance. The Chinese women's football team can not underestimate this South Korean women's football team, but they eliminated the powerful Australian women's football team to advance to the semifinals. The Chinese women's football team fell behind 2-0 when they played the second leg of the Olympic Preliminary Round play-off in April last year, and then the Chinese girl advanced in overtime.
The final of the Women's Asian Cup will start at 19:00 on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and the Chinese girls will hit the 6.4 million yuan winning prize money. This will be the 11th time that the Chinese women's football team has reached the final of the Asian Cup, after the previous 10 finals, 8 champions and 2 asians.
