On January 25, Beijing time, in the final round of Group E of the 2023 Asian Cup, South Korea and Jordan, two teams that could have fought to win the top spot in Group E, simply "acted clearly" not to be the first, because winning the first place will meet the second place Japanese team in Group D. After the Jordan team accidentally conceded a goal in the first half, it did not want to forge ahead, and spent time in the boos of the whole stadium, and finally lost 0:1 to Bahrain, while the game between South Korea and Malaysia was full of twists and turns, South Korea conceded a goal in the last 1 minute of injury time and was drawn 3:3 by Malaysia, and finally did not get the first place in the group "as desired", and the first team in the group was the Bahrain team that won two games.
Let's take a look at Bahrain's goal first, the Bahrain team got a counterattack opportunity in the 34th minute, Al-Hilal stepped forward and calmly pushed the goal on the line of the big penalty area!
It was this goal that allowed Bahrain to win in the end, and for Jordan, who had a goal difference advantage over South Korea, Jordan would still win the group even if both teams drew in the final round, and it was obviously a more affordable result to lose to Bahrain and fall to third in the group. Therefore, in the next game, the Jordanian team basically "gave up" the attack, and the Bahrain team, which knew Jordan's intentions, did not pretend to attack twice from time to time, and the performances of the two teams were ugly.
The other game can be called a heart-wrenching, because Malaysia doesn't care so much, they really want to win, so the South Korean team that doesn't want to win and is afraid of losing is quite embarrassed!
In the 21st minute, Jung Youying's header was fished out by Hazmi, and the ball should have crossed the goal line as soon as possible, and then VAR also prompted the referee that the goal was valid, and the South Korean team was expected to take a 1-0 lead.
However, in the 51st minute, Huang Renfan's mistake in the penalty area was cut off by the Malaysian team, and Fasser Haring's very delicate small-angle shot in the penalty area rubbed the ball into the gate, and Malaysia equalized, 1:1!
If the South Korean team then wanted to control and control, a mediocre draw could have been born, but Malaysia could not stop the car at this time, and in an attack, South Korea's Xue Young-woo kicked Arif Hanapi in the penalty area, and the referee gave a penalty after a VAR review!
Arif Hanapi takes the penalty for Malaysia, 2:1, South Korea is behind!
In the 83rd minute, South Korea got a free kick opportunity, Lee Gang-in was penalized in the corner, and although Hazmi touched the ball but was powerless to prevent the ball from going into the net, the South Korean team equalized 2:2.
There were 12 minutes of stoppage time, and in the second minute of stoppage time, VAR came back to the ground, and Oh Hyun went to the ground in the penalty area, which was finally ruled a penalty, and the South Korean team had a chance to overtake the score again.
In the face of the penalty, Son Heung-min hit it steadily, and the South Korean team led 3:2. If it ends with this score, South Korea will face Japan in the 1/8 finals.
The jaw-dropping moment came in the last minute, when Malaysia penetrated the South Korean defense through skilful cooperation, and Morales scored the equalizing goal to make it 3:3!
