Saudi coach Renard is telling the truth, Li Xiaopeng put up this 5-guard formation, originally wanted to defend, and then steal the other side, in front of Zhang Yuning alone. Gao Junyi's cross to break through on the right side was always unable to find anyone, fortunately, after Jin Jingdao went up, Gao Junyi's cross to find Jin Jingdao, and finally caused the opponent to send a point of handball. But if it weren't for a penalty, the national football team might even have the embarrassment of 0 shots on goal.
