Big upset! Asian Games: Hong Kong, China men's football team 1-0 Iran to advance to the semi-finals

On October 1, 2023, Beijing time, the Asian Games men's football team quarterfinals continued, with Iran U23 facing Hong Kong U23. In the first half, Hong Kong did not blindly defend, but stepped up its attack, after trying to defend the 0-0 victory in the first half. In the 47th minute of the second half, Hong Kong's Pan Peixuan scored a goal on a counter-attack. In the end, under the unity of the Hong Kong team, China, it broke the historical record and entered the final four of the Asian Games for the first time, which was the biggest upset of this Asian Games. At the same time, it also hit the face of the national football Asian Games team.

It is estimated that fans around the world did not expect that the Iranian team would be so difficult to play against the Hong Kong team, and we all thought that the Iranian team defeated the Hong Kong team in China, which was as simple as the South Korean team defeated the Chinese team. But in fact, the Iranian team had completed 18 shots by the 75th minute, but had no choice but to score a single goal. The counterattack was scored by Hong Kong, China, and at that time, Hong Kong was only three shots on goal.

After scoring goals, Hong Kong did not blindly defend like some teams, but was very quality in defensive counterattacks. Cheered by more than 20,000 fans on the pitch, the Hong Kong players played with great quality. Of course, after 75 minutes, due to physical reasons, Iran's attack sometimes overwhelmed Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong team of China played a rare momentum. The players showed the spirit of "not afraid of sacrifice" in the game. For example, in the 83rd minute, the two teams had a high-altitude ball scramble in the midfield, and the Hong Kong team player knew that the Iranian player would catch the ball steadily, he desperately used his head to take the ball away, the ball was very dangerous, and it would be concussed at any time, but this spirit reflected the true meaning of how the Hong Kong team of China could lead 1-0 in a weak situation.

The game was already in the 85th minute, and the Iranian team dispatched troops to launch a final charge against Hong Kong, China. But the Iranian team played a little rushed, and when they hit the front court, they were always broken by Hong Kong and launched a counterattack. Hong Kong China has done its best in almost every attack and deserves respect.

In particular, the outstanding performance of Hong Kong goalkeeper Tse Ka Wing in the final moments laid the foundation for Hong Kong China not to concede a goal in the last moment.

In the final moment, 6 minutes of stoppage time, just 6 minutes away from Hong Kong's history. In the end, Hong Kong, China, successfully blocked the attack of the powerful Iranian team and reached the semifinals for the first time in history. Behind the Hong Kong team reaching the final four, we look at the national football Asian Games team, which is really speechless.
