2-2!1-1! The worst result of the national football team was born, and the advantage of drawing and qualifying was gone, or it was stopped in the round of 36
A key battle in the round of 36 of the Asian region of the World Cup qualifiers ended not long ago, facing the weakest team in the group, the Chinese team still failed to find the feeling of winning, they lost a good game with a two-goal lead, and were forced to draw 2-2 by the Singapore team, and the prospect of qualifying has become very dangerous!
Before the start of this round of matches, the Chinese team temporarily ranked third in Group C with a goal difference, but our opponent in the third round is the weakest team in the group, Singapore, as long as they can get all three points, the Chinese team will have a great hope of overtaking the Thai team and returning to the top two of the standings. It's a pity that it backfired, even in the face of an Asian "fish belly", the Chinese men's football team still dropped the chain.
In the first half of the game, with Wu Lei's two goals, the Chinese team took a 2-0 lead early and firmly held the initiative to win in their own hands. But no one expected that after the rematch of Yibian, the situation on the field changed abruptly, first in the 53rd minute, the Singapore team with a refractive goal, the difference was narrowed to 1 goal, and then in the 81st minute, the Chinese team's defense made another mistake, and the substitute Mahler shot in the penalty area, and successfully pulled the score to 2-2!
In the other game played earlier, the Thai team also performed a miracle. Away from the top seed South Korea, the Thai team's goal was the first to lose in the first half, but in the face of the unfavorable situation of backwardness, the Thai team was not discouraged, in the 61st minute of the second half, the Thai team played a sharp counterattack, Supana grabbed the goal in front of the goal, and helped the Thai team finally draw 1-1 with the South Korean team, and won a draw!
The draw between China and Thailand is the most unfavorable situation for us. Originally, many fans thought that the South Korean team should beat Thailand twice, and the Chinese team would beat Singapore twice, and the Chinese team would have a significant lead over the Thai team in points. In the 5th round, the Chinese team only needs to draw with their opponents to lock up a ticket to qualify. But after the 3rd round, the advantage of the Chinese team to draw out of the qualification has disappeared, we must beat the Thai team at home, in order to grasp the initiative to advance, once the opponent is forced to draw, we will most likely be out of the game because of the disadvantage of goal difference, in the round of 36 will stop early!
I hope that the Chinese men's football team can adjust as soon as possible and regain its form, otherwise the 2026 World Cup will have to say goodbye to us in advance after June!
