The group stage of the U17 Women's Asian Cup has ended not long ago, and in the last game, the Chinese women's football team failed to continue its victory. Facing the defending champion Japanese women's football team, the Chinese women's football team lost 0-4 to the opponent and could only enter the next knockout round with the second place in the group, which also cast a shadow on the Chinese team's promotion path.
In this U17 Women's Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese women's football team in the first two rounds undoubtedly pleased many fans, they defeated the Australian women's football team and the Thai women's football team with a score of 3-0, and locked a knockout ticket in the first round. However, in the battle for the first place in the group with the Japanese women's football team, the Chinese team failed to continue the excellent performance of the first two rounds, and only 8 minutes after the first half of the game, the goal of the Chinese women's football team was lost, and it fell into an unfavorable situation of falling behind 0-1 early.
Yibian fought again, and the Chinese women's football team, not to be left behind, changed their generals one after another and launched an all-out counterattack. However, in the face of the tight defense of the Japanese women's football team, the Chinese team did not find a good way to break the goal, but there were frequent omissions on the defensive end. Hana Kikuchi, who came on as a substitute for the Japanese team, scored two goals in a short period of time to expand the score to 3-0 and kill the suspense of the game in advance. In the last minute of stoppage time, the Japanese women's football team took advantage of another corner kick opportunity and scored the icing on the cake to lock the score to 4-0! In the end, the Chinese women's football team lost 0-4 to the Japanese women's football team and suffered the first defeat of this cup.
According to the schedule, the Chinese women's football team, which qualified as the second in the group, will face the North Korean women's football team, the top favorite of the tournament, in the knockout round. If the Japanese women's football team, which has won 3 games and 3 wins, has performed well enough, then the North Korean women's football team has even more than that. In the three group games, the North Korean women's football team staged a one-sided "massacre", they first defeated the South Korean women's football team with a score of 7-0, and then defeated the Philippine women's football team 6-0.
In the final round of the group stage, the Indonesian women's football team, the weakest host, the North Korean women's football team bloodied their opponents 9-0 without blood, easily won three consecutive victories, and entered the knockout round with their heads held high. In 3 games, the North Korean women's football team scored 22 goals without conceding a goal, and the performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was perfect. They are also the team with the most goals scored and the fewest goals conceded in this tournament, and with the current strength of the Chinese women's football team, if they want to compete with the North Korean women's football team, I am afraid they can only hope for a miracle!
Bless the Chinese women's football team, I hope this young team can bring surprises to everyone and inject a shot of strength into Chinese football in the trough!
