1-0!6-1! A night of joy and sorrow in football, the national football team was eliminated, Chelsea reached the final, and Cameroon was killed
The national football team's record in this Asian Cup is very bad, with only 2 draws and 1 loss in 3 group games, only 2 points, ranking 3rd in the group and being eliminated. In fact, when the national football team lost to Qatar, it was infinitely close to being out. However, after all, there is a theoretical possibility of qualifying, which makes some people have some illusions. One of the conditions for the national football team to qualify is that the match between Syria and India must be played in a 0-0 draw, and no one can score. As a result, Syria scored the only goal of the game in the 76th minute, which made the national football team completely out of the competition. At the same time, Syria also won 1-0 against India. Syria qualified from the group with a total of 4 points. This made history for Syria and the team reached the knockout stage of the Asian Cup for the first time in their history. Syria is ranked lower in the world than the national football team, but can advance to the knockout round. And the performance of the national football team is completely unworthy of the world ranking, which is really bad.
The night also saw the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals: Chelsea vs Middlesbrough. Chelsea were beaten 1-0 away from home in the first leg between the two sides. There is no way back for Chelsea and this time they will have to win at home to have any hope of progressing. As a result, Chelsea produced one of the sharpest attacks of the season, beating Middlesbrough 6-1 to reach the final 6-2 on aggregate. A number of Chelsea players were outstanding in this game. Palmer scored twice and was the best of the match. Enzo Fernandez, Disasi and Madueke all scored. Chelsea's opponents in the final are yet to be announced. The other semi-final is between Liverpool and Fulham. If nothing else, Liverpool will be able to qualify for the final against Chelsea.
One match in the third round of the Africa Cup of Nations played a miracle game, and that was the match between Cameroon and Gambia. Cameroon took the lead thanks to a goal from Ekambi. But in the 72nd minute, Jallow scored to put the two sides back on the same page. In the 85th minute, Gambia actually scored another goal, and Colli scored. At this point, Cameroon was in a desperate situation and time was running out. Unexpectedly, Gomez gave Cameroon an own goal after that, and the two sides drew again. In stoppage time in the end, Christopher Waugh scored the winning goal. In the end, Cameroon counterattacked and defeated Gambia 3-2. Cameroon won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in 3 group games, got 4 points, and advanced to the knockout round. Cameroon really survived.
