In this 2024 U23 Asian Cup matchup, who would have expected that the Iraqi team, which has the advantage of the whole game, would lose 0-2 to the Thai team? This can't help but remind people of the old saying: "On the football field, anything is possible." ”
On the same day, the South Korean team snatched three points in a fierce battle with the United Arab Emirates with Lee Yongjun's stunner at the end of the game. This goal is like the climax of the movie, Lee Yongjun is like a hero on the football field, who stepped forward at a critical moment and saved the lives of the Korean team.

Back to that shocking Iraq vs. Thailand match. Iraq lead Thailand in almost every statistic, with frighteningly high possession and enough shots on goal to open a shooting supermarket. However, the Thai team was like the students who sat in the last row of the class, who unexpectedly got perfect marks in the exam, and their counter-attacks were incisive, and every attack was like a well-choreographed routine that worked directly.
And in South Korea's match against the United Arab Emirates, every detail is extraordinarily important. The players of the South Korean team are like agents who have been given special tasks, and every pass, every run, is full of tension. On the last kick, Lee Yongjun not only shot at goal, he literally saved the whole team at that moment. Amid the cheers of the crowd, you can hear the heartbeat of almost every Korean fan.
The Chinese team's persistence and refusal to give up also injected a different meaning into the game. Although it lost to Japan, every switch of attack and defense, every scramble, made people feel the determination of the Chinese team that was unwilling to give up easily. Although the score is simply written 0-1, the story behind it cannot be fully displayed by the score.
