Live Broadcast News March 9th In the final round of the Women's Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese women's football team defeated the North Korean women's football team 2-1, winning three consecutive games and advancing to the quarterfinals as the group leader. "Beiqing Sports" wrote an article that the Chinese women's football team has a greater chance of reaching the top four and qualifying for the 2027 Women's World Cup.
Data shows that the Chinese women's football team has played against the North Korean women's football team in the past 20 years, losing more than winning. Taking the Asian Cup as an example, the Chinese team lost 5 of the past 6 games against its opponents. The last time the team defeated an opponent in the Asian Cup was in the 2006 Women's Asian Cup semi-finals. Coincidentally, the venue at that time was also Australia. In this game, the Chinese women's football team once again significantly adjusted the starting lineup. Wang Shuang, Zhang Rui, Wu Haiyan and other veterans who were suspended in the last round started the game. It has to be said that the Chinese women's football team, which paid full attention to its opponents, was meticulous in enforcing technical and tactical disciplines in this game. The team's passing and receiving success rate, especially the offensive efficiency, was significantly better than in previous games.
Data shows that the Chinese women's football team had a ball possession rate of 53% in the first half and took 3 shots, one more than their opponents. It should be said that in this half, the Chinese women's football team seemed relatively calm from partial passing and receiving cooperation, to physical confrontation, to transitioning between offense and defense, and therefore suppressed the opponent for a time. Entering the second half, the North Korean women's football team launched a frenzied counterattack, but the Chinese women's football team did not disrupt its own style of play and rhythm. All players were highly focused and did not lag behind the North Korean women's football team, which has seven U20 World Cup champions, in terms of will and quality.
It is worth noting that with the Chinese women's football team winning three consecutive games to secure the top spot in the group, the team will successfully avoid the host Australian women's football team in the quarter-finals. As for the opponent in the quarterfinals, there is a high probability that the Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team will be the Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team. This is because this team has been ranked second in Group C after defeating the Vietnam Women's Football Team in the group stage. In the last round, they faced the Indian Women's Football Team, the weakest opponent in the same group. In the same round, the Vietnam Women's Football Team will face the group leader Japan Women's Football Team. From this perspective, the Chinese women's football team has also achieved a phased victory at the strategic level. After all, once it encounters the Chinese Taipei women's football team, the Chinese women's football team will have a high chance of advancing to the semi-finals, which means that it is very likely to advance to the semi-finals, thus directly locking the ticket for the 2027 World Cup.
Of course, the significance of the victory of the Chinese women's football team in this game is that when facing the top teams in Asia, they did not retreat on defense. Instead, I played the most beautiful victory against a strong team in recent years. This victory also adds confidence to the Chinese women's football team as they continue to move forward in defending their title.
