Focus on sports information and pay attention to both inside and outside the stadium.
The 2025 Asian Cup qualifiers are in full swing.
Unknown to me, the last round of group stage has arrived, and it is also the round that determines whether 11 groups can qualify.
The D group where U23 is located will also usher in a life-and-death battle, and will face the powerful Australian team in the last round.
The result of this game is very important. If you cannot get points, you will basically bid farewell to the Asian Cup finals in advance.
What's even more "injury" is that in another game that ended first, the Chinese team's main competitor, Lebanon, had already scored a big victory in advance, becoming the first 7-point team.
The third round is fully launched.
In Group D where the Chinese team is located, two teams that were eliminated early, East Timor and Northern Mariana Islands played first, and East Timor was somewhat unexpectedly defeated 6-0.
Although East Timor is stronger than the Northern Mariana Islands, if it is said that it can win with 6 goals before the game, many fans may find it a bit exaggerated.
After all, when facing the Chinese team, the Northern Mariana Islands showed good defensive ability, and only conceded 1 goal in the last moment in the first half.
So Timor-Leste has an absolute advantage in this game, with a ball possession rate of up to 70%. He scored 2 goals in the first half and 4 goals in the second half, winning a big victory.
From this score, we can see that it is not accidental that the Chinese team narrowly defeated East Timor 2-1 in the first game, and East Timor's strength is still good.
At the same time, this also further reflects the strength of the Australian team. In one game, 14-0 and 6-0 swept, the Australian Kangaroos won too easily.
In fact, the result of this game can indirectly explain some problems, it has little impact on the Chinese team.
The victory or defeat of the Lebanese team will affect the Chinese team's promotion prospects.
In the first two rounds, several teams in Group F include Thailand, Lebanon, Malaysia and Mongolia.
In the first two rounds, Thailand and Lebanon both won 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points, the former had 6 goals and the latter had 1 goal difference.
In the last round, the first game between Lebanon and Mongolia.
Mongol team lost both rounds and failed to finish the bottom.
So overall, the Lebanese team is likely to win.
In this game, Lebanon got a fantastic start, with 2 goals leading after only 10 minutes of the game, and at the end of the first half, he gained a big advantage with a 3-0 lead.
However, in the second half, Lebanon did not continue to score goals and ended the game 3-0.
With a 3-0 game, Lebanon, who was originally ranked second in the group, won 3 points, becoming the first 7-point team, and the points were temporarily ranked in the group, beating the Thai team.
If Thailand does not defeat Malaysia in the last round, then Lebanon will advance to the finals directly as the first in the group.
But with the strength of the Thai team, it is not a big problem to win Malaysia.
Considering that there were 5 more goals in the previous goal difference, as long as you can get 3 points, the Thai team can get a direct place.
In this way, Lebanon ranked second in the group with 7 points, competing for the second place in the four best-achieved groups.
So with the Lebanese team's 7 points, the previous second in the "top" group of the Chinese team has been knocked down.
At the same time, it also forces the Chinese team into a desperate situation. In the game against Australia, you must get a draw and get 1 point, otherwise you will be eliminated directly.
Where can we wait and see if the U22 national football team can successfully score 1 point!
