On March 26, Beijing time, the fourth round of the second stage of the World Asian Preliminary was contested, and Australia, the fourth in Asia, played against Lebanon in the 21st. Yanji blitzed, Goodwinki and Aldale scored as Asian powerhouse Australia beat Lebanon twice to become the first team to advance to the round of 18 (stage 3).
In the 2nd minute, Australia's wing instigated an attack, Goodwin inserted the ball and sent a precise cross, and Yanji, who followed up in front of the goal, scored twice in a row to get a dream start. The team controlled the tempo and patiently looked for opportunities, Metcalfe's low shot from the box was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Hrustic pushed and kicked away from the middle.
Goodwin was particularly active on the wing, breaking through the running position to double the pressure on the opposition defence, and frequently creating space, but unfortunately his team-mates' ability to grasp it needs to be improved. Lebanon were more passive, with few transitions to attack failing to pose much of a threat, and it looked difficult to break the tie as they were still 1-0 down at half-time.
In the 47th minute of the rematch, Goodwin took a free kick to the penalty area to create chaos, the goalkeeper saved and hit Giraldi and bounced into the goal, Australia expanded the score, and the offensive continued to attack, in the 48th minute, Hrustic picked up the assist, Goodwin stopped the ball on his chest and then volleyed into the far corner, and the two goals in two minutes basically laid the victory.
The game continued until the 68th minute of Aldale's goalkeeper and scored a goal, and in the final 81st minute, Goodwin scored a brace at the back point, and Australia beat Lebanon 5-0 at the end of the game, killing the opponent in two legs and keeping a clean sheet. So far, Australia have won all four rounds with 12 points, scored 15 goals and conceded 0 goals, and they advanced to the next stage (round of 18) two rounds in advance.
In the fourth round of Group C, the World Asian Preliminaries, China will face Singapore, which is ranked 13th in Asia, and Singapore is ranked 31st. The first leg was a 2-0 lead away from home, and the second leg at home is absolutely not to be missed, and only a win will keep the hope of advancing to the next round alive, and more goal difference is needed. Defence is crucial and we have to stay focused to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
The starting lineup of the national football team has been released, Wu Lei is the captain to lead the game, Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie are in the backline, and Wang Dalei replaces Yan Junling.
