1-0!3-1! The Asian Cup is in chaos: the two big fish belly rise, overturning the 4th place in Asia, but the national football team is difficult to qualify
The U23 Asian Cup group stage has reached the second round, and in this competition, some of the past Asian "fish belly" teams have risen, and the pattern of Asian football may also be rewritten in the near future!
Vietnam's national team suffered successive defeats in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year and the subsequent World Preliminary Tournament, and reaching the round of 18 has become a luxury, but their U23 men's football team is still a force to be reckoned with in Asian football. In the first half of stoppage time, Nguyen Van Truong sent a delicate through stoppage, and Nguyen Van Song, who was inserted in the back, easily pushed the goalkeeper to help Vietnam break the deadlock and take a 1-0 lead. But just two minutes later, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh was recklessly fouled in the box and gave Kuwait a penalty, which Awadi hit safely, bringing the two teams back to the same running line.
Yibian fought again, and the Vietnamese team did not give the opponent any more chances. In the 47th minute, Kuwait goalkeeper Kamal made a low-level mistake at the back and sent the ball directly to the substitute Vietnamese striker Bui Wei Hao, who easily scored an empty goal to help the team exceed the score again. In the 76th minute, the Vietnamese team made a comeback, Pei Weihao shot from a small angle in the penalty area, originally this shot was not too threatening, but he didn't expect the Kuwait goalkeeper to make another low-level mistake, and he leaked the ball directly into the door. In the end, Vietnam defeated Kuwait 3-1 and got off to a good start. As long as they can beat Malaysia in the next round, they can qualify for the round one round earlier and secure a ticket to the last eight.
Another Southeast Asian team, Indonesia, also gave a surprise to the whole of Asia, facing the favorite Australia, the Indonesian team did not have stage fright at all. Although they were significantly behind their opponents in all statistics throughout the game, it was the Indonesian team that scored the only goal of the game. In the 45th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick offensive opportunity, Tegu scored with a close-range header in front of the goal, helping the Indonesian team to take a 1-0 lead!
Not to be outdone, the Australian team launched a crazy counterattack, but in the face of the iron bucket formation of the Indonesian team, they did not find a good way to break the goal, and the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end. In the end, the Indonesian team, which was recognized as the "fish belly" before the game, defeated the Australian team 1-0 and won the first victory of the U23 Asian Cup, but also broke out the biggest upset of this tournament!
Compared with these Southeast Asian teams, the performance of the Chinese men's football team is somewhat unavailable. In the first round, when there was one more player for most of the time, the Chinese team still lost 0-1 to the Japanese team, and the qualification situation has become precarious. In the second round of the group stage, we had to beat South Korea to regain the initiative to qualify. But to accomplish this goal, for the Chinese team at this stage, it is tantamount to a dream. Therefore, the Chinese U23 men's football team will most likely stop in the group stage and return to the Olympic Games out of Asia, which is still an unattainable dream!
