8-0, Australia wins! Congratulations to the Chinese women's football team, the qualifying situation is clear, and Shui Qingxia is lucky
After the start of the second round of the women's Olympic qualifiers, the Chinese women's football team has achieved a relatively favorable result. That's Australia in Group A, who beat the Philippines 8-0. The reason why this result is in favor of the Chinese women's football team is mainly due to the fact that the Chinese women's football team is likely to compete for the second place in the best of the three groups.
In the competition for second place, the Chinese women's football team needs to consider many factors. One of the most important factors is goal difference. The Philippines also slipped to second place after a heavy 8-0 defeat to Australia. The goal difference has changed from four to minus.
In the final round, the Philippines will play against Iran. It will be very difficult for them to erase the disadvantage of minus four goal difference. Because in the first round, the Iranian team faced the Australian team and only lost 0-2!
As a result, even if the Philippines beat Iran and get six points, their goal difference could be very small, or even negative. This result is undoubtedly a very good situation for the Chinese women's football team.
After the Chinese women's football team lost 1-2 to the North Korean women's football team, the qualifying situation lit up in advance. It is already very difficult for the team to compete for the first place and get the ticket to the promotion. The safest way for Shui Qingxia is to try to score more goals in the match against Thailand. Snatch a second place finish from the best group.
With the 0-8 defeat of the Philippine team, this means that the Chinese women's football team has actually lost a competitor. If the Japanese team defeats the Uzbekistan team again in this round of the game, then the situation of the Chinese women's football team's promotion is basically clear: there is no need to consider the situation in Group A and Group C, in the last round, as long as you beat the South Korean team, you can directly lock a place in the top four.
In this case, for Shui Qingxia, it is much simpler and more direct. She can concentrate on preparing for the life-and-death battle of the Korean team.
It is worth reminding that in this round of the game, the South Korean team did not win either, and they drew 0-0 with the North Korean women's football team. In this way, the ranking of Group B is actually very clear. The North Korean women's football team, with four points, is only in second place, but they face Thailand in the final round. The North Korean women's football team scored 7 points and directly locked the first place in the group, which is no suspense.
As for South Korea, although they are temporarily ranked No. 1 and have a goal difference advantage of nine, they will face the Chinese women's football team in the final round. With both sides battling out the chance to qualify, this game will be particularly intense.
Once the South Korean team loses to the Chinese women's football team, they will fall to third place and go straight out. As long as the Chinese women's football team beats the South Korean team, the points will reach 6 points. With the same 6 points, the second place in Group A and Group C will most likely be inferior to the Chinese women's football team in terms of goal difference. In the end, Shui Qingxia is expected to lead the Chinese women's football team to the second place and advance to the semifinals.
For Shui Qingxia, after losing the first round, she can still grasp the initiative to advance to the semifinals, I have to say that her luck is really bursting. If in the face of such an advantage, she still can't lead the Chinese women's football team to defeat the South Korean team to advance, then it really can't be said.
