The Chinese men's football team launched the third round of the group stage of this Asian Cup on the evening of the 22nd and the host Qatar. As a result, the Chinese team wasted many good opportunities in the first half of the game, and in the second half, the opponent immediately took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to score after the opponent changed the main force. The Chinese team finally lost 0-1 to Qatar.
In the other game, Tajikistan defeated Lebanon 2-1 to finish second in the group. The Chinese team is third in the group, and whether it can become the third place in the group with the best results depends on the matches in the other groups after that. But two of the remaining five groups have already finished third with three points.

In the 6th minute, the national football team grabbed the start, Zhang Yuning received an inverted triangle pass after receiving an oblique pass, and Wei Shihao, who was inserted in the middle, missed the goal with a shot!
In the 30th minute, Qatar got a chance to counterattack, Abdulsag kicked the goal in the penalty area! Jiang Guangtai made a key block, blocked the ball from the bottom line, and Qatar won a corner kick.
In the 35th minute, Wu Xi's shot from outside the penalty area was missed, and the ball came to the feet of Wei Shihao in the penalty area, but the shot angle was too positive and was blocked by Qatari goalkeeper Saad Shaeb!
In stoppage time, Wei Shihao instigated an attack after breaking through with the ball on the side, and a pass that seemed to be a pass hit the penalty area, and Zhang Yuning in front of the goal did not grab the point!
In the first half, Jiang Guangtai played a key role in the Chinese team's backline: 6 clearances, 2 blocked shots, 1 tackle, 1 ground duel (1 successful), 4 aerial duels (3 successful).
In the second half, the Chinese team replaced Liu Binbin with Xie Pengfei.
In the 65th minute, the two main players who had just come on as a substitute in Qatar completed the cooperation! Afif took a corner kick, and Haydos outside the penalty area met the ball and volleyed the world wave to score! The national football team fell behind Qatar 0-1!
In the following game, the Chinese team scored a goal by Jiang Shenglong, who came on as a substitute, but because the ball had gone out of the bottom line before Liu Yang's pass, the goal was not counted.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team lost 0-1 to Qatar. After three rounds of group stage, they have 2 points, no goals scored, and a goal difference of -1. It is very difficult for the Chinese men's football team to go from "scoring a goal, scoring a point, and winning a game" in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan to scoring a goal in the Asian Cup.
