On March 26, Beijing time, in the fourth round of the round of 36 of the World Preliminaries, the Chinese men's football team defeated Singapore 4-1 at home, 3 points ahead of Thailand, which lost to South Korea.
Qualifying rules and points
The national football team is in the same group as Thailand, South Korea, and Singapore, and only the top two in the group can qualify and advance to the round of 18. In the case of the same score, the goal difference is compared first, then the number of goals scored, and then the win-loss relationship.
As a result, after 4 rounds, the national football team reversed Thailand 2-1 away, lost 0-3 to South Korea at home, drew 2-2 with Singapore away, and finally defeated Singapore 4-1 at home tonight, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and 7 points.
Thailand 1-2 national football team, 3-1 Singapore, away 1-1 South Korea, 0-3 loss to South Korea at home, 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, total 4 points.
In this way, the national football team rose to second place in the group, and Thailand was three points behind in third place. South Korea leads with 10 points from 3 wins and 1 draw, while Singapore is at the bottom with 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point.

Qualifying situation
The qualifying situation of the national football team is mainly in the following three situations.
1. If the national football team defeats Thailand in the next round, kills the opponent twice, 10 points in 5 rounds, and leads Thailand by 6 points, it will qualify one round in advance!
2. If the national football team draws with Thailand in the next round, 8 points in 5 rounds, the lead over Thailand is still 3 points, and it will not be able to qualify in advance.
Therefore, if the national football team does not lose to South Korea (win or draw) in the last round, it will also qualify, but if it loses to South Korea and Thailand wins Singapore, then the two teams will have 8 points in 6 rounds, and they need to compete for goal difference: the national football team now has a goal difference of 1, and Thailand is -2, which is 3 more.
3. If the national football team loses to Thailand in the next round, with 7 points in 5 rounds, and the points are tied by Thailand, then even if we defeat South Korea in the last round, we are likely to be equal with Thailand again;
