#2023 U20 Asian Cup #U20 Women's Asian Cup The first round is over, only 1 draw is 1 of 12 matches, Hong Kong, China 2-2 Laos, all other matches are won and lost, and they are all big scores, one-sided matches, the minimum score is 2-0, there are two matches, the maximum score is 14-0, Chinese Taiwan defeats Tajikistan, Australia 13-0 Guam, India 7-0 Singapore, Iran 7-1 Turkmenistan, China 6-0 Philippines, Nepal 6-0 Palestine , Lebanon 6-2 Bhutan, another second round ended three matches, Vietnam 11-0 Singapore, India 6-0 Indonesia.
Taiwan's 14-0 victory over Tajikistan in this game He Jiaxuan scored 10 goals alone, their group also has Thailand and Uzbekistan, Australia men's team 9-1 Qatar the day before, their women's team 13-0 victory over Guam, men's football win is difficult, because the strength gap is not so big, like Australia scored 9 goals is really unexpected, can only be explained that Qatar is too difficult to qualify when it is too difficult to beat itself.
And the women's football team won the big score because of the obvious gap in strength, basically the team in the Greater East Asia region is stronger than the Greater West Asia team, and completely overwhelmed West Asia, the crushing advantage leads West Asia, basically appear in the competition are China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Australia these teams, now China's Taiwan, Vietnam and China's Hong Kong, Thailand are also rising, the reason why West Asia is obviously weak is because their female compatriots have to wear headscarves to play, women's status is low, there is no way to improve the level of football, Although the men's football side is also stronger than West Asia, it is not so obvious, especially in the last World Cup, West Asia and East Asia each have 3 teams participating, and other World Cups are dominated by East Asian teams.
Because Japan, North Korea, and South Korea were the top three in the last edition, plus the Uzbekistan host directly entered the top 8, and the other 27 teams had to produce 4 places through the group stage, as long as the Chinese women's football team did not meet the two teams of Australia and Taiwan, there was no suspense in entering the top 8.
