Refuse to be upset! Asian Cup qualifiers - Chinese men s football team narrowly defeated East Timor 2-1, temporarily ranking second in the group

In the league, the team failed to join the training in time, and the team only gathered the strongest lineup before the game. In the first game, facing East Timor, the Chinese team has a home advantage. The goal is not only to win, but also to win more goals in order to compete with Australia in the group top spot.

Looking back at the historical confrontation, the two teams met at the 2018 Asian Games, when the Chinese team defeated East Timor 6-0. In this game, the Chinese team sent out a main lineup including Wumi Tijiang, Liu Haofan, Hu Hetao, Wang Shiqin, Wang Yudong, Kuai Jiwen, Baihe Lamu and other active international players. Li Hao, Yang Haoyu, Li Zhenquan and Xiang Yuwang also started. In the first half, the Chinese team's ball possession rate exceeded 60%, but the offensive efficiency was not high, and many shots failed to convert into goals. Baihe Lamu was active in the frontcourt, but missed several good opportunities to score. Timor-Leste relies on counterattack to create threats. Until the 42nd minute, the Chinese team passed a free kick opportunity and Baihe Lamu pushed the ball to break the deadlock. In the 45th minute, Wang Yudong scored from the far corner in the penalty area, expanding the score to 2-0. In the second half, Timor-Leste took advantage of the counterattack opportunity to win a goal and chased the score to 1-2. Although both sides have offensive and defensive since then, the Chinese team defended their advantage and finally won 2-1. This victory laid the foundation for the Chinese team to qualify in the group and will face more severe challenges in the next round.
