#2023 U20 Asian Cup #U20 Asian Cup Group D third round ended two matches, China team 1-1 Kyrgyzstan, Japan team 2-1 Saudi Arabia, so that all group games have ended, Japan did not join forces with Saudi Arabia to do the Chinese team, but helped the Chinese team squeeze out Saudi Arabia, the current round of 8 has been released, the Chinese team will play South Korea, Japan against Jordan, Australia against Uzbekistan, Iran against Iraq, the team that entered the top 4 will enter the World Cup, Therefore, the Chinese team is only one step away from the World Cup, and winning South Korea will enter the World Cup, but the disadvantage is that Bai Lamu and Chen Zhexuan are suspended for the next cumulative yellow card.
Group D qualification situation is more complicated, 4 teams have a chance to qualify, and the stronger Saudi team because of the previous 0-2 loss to the Chinese team, so they want to qualify must win Japan, of course, if the Chinese team loses, they can also qualify if they draw, in short, the initiative is no longer on the Saudi side, on the side of Japan and China, the Chinese team will advance as long as they win, do not consider how many wins, Saudi Arabia must win 2-0 and above Japan, so it is a bit difficult.
Kyrgyzstan also has a chance to qualify, but it is very slim, hoping that Saudi Arabia loses, but also to win 3-0 against China, of course, they may think of a battle of honor, after all, they may think that China is the weakest team in the group, but the trend of the game is not favorable for Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan, Japan and China both score first, so it is more difficult for Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan to advance.
Saudi Arabia equalized 1-1 in the 74th minute of the second half, scoring in this time period is the best node, because there is still time to overcome, but just when they are full of confidence, they are hit again and basically lose the qualification, because 4 minutes later the 78th Japan is leading again, Saudi Arabia must score 2 more goals to win, so basically hopeless, after being scored by Japan for the second goal, a Saudi player cried against the goalpost in annoyance, maybe they did not expect that the Chinese team would be equalized in the back, if they were in a better state of mind, A draw also had a chance to qualify, as the Chinese team was likely to play a black three-minute, but fortunately Saudi Arabia was no longer morale and was eventually eliminated.
