Australia lost, sending Saudi Arabia to qualify early; Vietnam lost, so that the national football team basically avoided the embarrassment of the bottom of the group. This is really good for the national football team that is about to play in the last 2 rounds of the round of 12, and the next 2 "warm-up matches", the national football team can be said to have no pressure. I have to say that as the new coach of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng's luck is really too good.
In the first eight rounds of the Round of 12, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Australia ranked in the top three of the group with 19 points, 18 points and 15 points respectively, while Oman, China and Vietnam ranked fourth to 6th in the group with 8 points, 5 points and 3 points. For the national football team, there are 2 major tasks next, one is to avoid a crash, and the other is to avoid the bottom of the group.
In an earlier strong conversation, Japan beat Australia 2-0 with two goals from the 88th and 93rd minutes. Due to conceding the ball in the last minute, the Australian team had little time to equalize or even overtake the score when they were behind, and could only send Japan and Saudi Arabia to advance to the World Cup.
After the end of the Japan-Australia war, another match in Group B also attracted the attention of Chinese fans: Vietnam played Oman at home. Due to the humiliating defeat of the national football team at home, the performance of the Vietnamese team in this campaign has attracted the attention of the Chinese media and fans. Before the game, the Vietnamese media once said that in the next 2 round of 12 matches, the Vietnamese team also has a goal, that is, to get rid of the bottom of the group.
Because of this, they sent the strongest lineup in this campaign, and the main players such as Ruan Guanghai, Du Xiongyong, Wu Wenqing, and Ruan Jinling all started. Facing the aggressive Vietnamese team, the away team Oman is not to be outdone. Under the coaching of Tarzan's old coach Ivankovic, this Omani team can be said to have a good strength, even in adversity will not easily collapse. The previous draw with the national football team is the best proof.
In the first 60 minutes, the Vietnamese team, which played at home, basically controlled the situation, but they were invincible. In the 64th minute, Oman fired a corner kick from the right and Hadhiri scored the only goal of the game with a header from the centre. It can be seen that the Vietnamese team missed people in this corner defense. Witnessing the team conceded a goal, Vietnamese coach Park Heng-so hugged his head in disappointment. Subsequently, the Vietnamese team launched a fierce counterattack.
In the 75th minute, Vietnam won a set-piece opportunity in front of the field, and Nguyen Hai Hai shot directly at goal, which was saved by omani goalkeeper Shen Yong. In the end, Oman beat Vietnam 1-0 away. The away team successfully blocked Vietnam, ivan presented Chinese football at the same time, but also proved himself again.
According to the round of 12 fixtures, Vietnam will play Japan in the last game, while China will have a home match against Saudi Arabia and away to Oman. Although the Chinese team has little hope of scoring points next, the same is true for the Vietnamese team, and it is difficult to get 3 points or even 1 point away even against Japan, which has come out early. This also means that Vietnam's dream of pulling the national football team to the back and getting rid of the bottom of the group is basically shattered. And this is really a rare benefit for Li Xiaopeng. After all, if the last place in the group is awkwardly ended in the round of 12, Li Xiaopeng's position is dangerous.
