The U20 Women's Asian Cup has attracted much attention, and as a result, in a competition in Group B, the Chinese team exposed a big upset, defeating the powerhouse Uzbekistan 2-0 and getting off to a good start. This victory also reversed the real-time standings, and the South Korean women's football team and the Australian women's football team once fell out of the promotion zone.
You must know that the strength of the Chinese Taipei women's football team is quite average, and in a major competition like the Asian Cup, it has always played the role of a point boy. However, in the first half of the U20 Asian Cup, Chinese Taipei women's football team ushered in an outbreak, and in the first half of the game with Uzbekistan, Chinese Taipei repeatedly resisted the opponent's key attacks and tried to keep the city gate open, which also laid the foundation for the counterattack in the second half. Sure enough, in the 49th minute, the Uzbek defense was busy with mistakes, and Chinese Taipei calmly reversed the triangle after dribbling into the penalty area, and then inserted a player to rewrite the score.
Subsequently, Chinese Taipei took the initiative to fight on the front, wanting to keep the fruits of victory. And their forbearance has finally paid off. In the 91st minute, Uzbekistan's backfield ball was intercepted by Chinese Taipei, and then he shot angrily at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the ball rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal at high speed, locking the score at 2-0. In this game, Chinese Taipei set a number of records, and it is no wonder that after the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Chinese Taipei women's football team celebrated wildly, as if they had won the championship.
In the other meeting in this group, Australia Women beat South Korea Women 2-1. So after the first round, the top is actually the Chinese Taipei women's football team, which is recognized as the belly of the fish, they successfully occupy the top spot with 3 points + two goal difference, and the Australian and South Korean women's football teams can only rank second and third. On the other hand, the Chinese women's football team was forced to draw 1-1 by the North Korean women's football team in the first round, and the qualifying situation is not as optimistic as that of Chinese Taipei.
And in comparison, the Chinese women's football team in this Asian Cup has very poor luck, in addition to the powerful North Korean women's football team, the opponents in the same group are the Japanese women's football team and the Vietnamese women's football team, which almost announced in advance that the Chinese women's football team can only get the third place in the group. But fortunately, Chinese Taipei, as another Chinese team, stood up in time and continued the hope of the Chinese team to qualify for the Asian Cup, which is also gratifying to the fans, but this also reflects the rapid progress of the Asian women's football teams from another level.
