10-0, 6-0! A sad and happy night in the Asian preliminaries! The Chinese national football team has won two consecutive victories in a row, and Australia leads the lead

After the second round of the Group D match of the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, there were indeed some happy and some sad. The Chinese team defeated the Northern Mariana Islands 10-0, and Australia defeated East Timor 6-0. Both teams won two consecutive games, but the goal difference was so much, and the final round of the China-Australia showdown became the focus. The Chinese team barely passed East Timor 2-1 in the first round and did not score a big goal difference. This game must be a big kill against Northern Mariana. As a result, it broke out directly in the second half. 10 goals were obtained, 6 points, and 12 goals were scored. Finally, I took a breath, but Australia has already 20 goals, and the pressure is not small. Northern Mariana team is extremely weak. It lost to Australia 0-14 in the first round, with a population of only more than 40,000. Most of the players are amateurs. It has only been a few years since they joined the AFC. Without the FIFA ranking, it is basically a life of being beaten against the Chinese team.

The Chinese team played in this game at 19:35 pm on September 6 at Xi'an International Football Center. The starting lineup was Yu Jinyong guarding the goal, defenders Liu Haofan, Peng Xiao, Bao Shimeng, midfielders Chen Zhexuan, Kuai Jiwen, Mao Weijie, Li Xinxiang, and forwards Xiang Yu Wang, Baihe Lamu, and Zhu Pengyu. North Mariana goalkeeper Merrik Toves, defenders Ariel Navaes Jr., Lelan Guerrero, Daniel Pablo, Nolan Ngaevakel, midfielders Brian Lubao, Dev Bachani, Anthony Bergancia, Goto Mitsutaro, Taylor Omerau, and forward Paul Lisama.

The Chinese team had the advantage in the first half of the game, but the chance was not grasped. In the first minute, Baihe Lamu scored a goal from the back point and was judged to be offside. In the second minute, he was knocked down to Yu Wang's penalty area and did not have a penalty. In the 9th minute, Peng Xiao headed the ball high, and the long shot at Yu Wang missed the ball in 18th minute. In the 27th minute, Baihe Lamu fell to the ground in the penalty area and there was no point. In the 28th minute, Zhu Pengyu headed the ball to Yu Wang's re-shoot but failed. In the 32th minute, Zhu Pengyu grabbed the two headings, and in the 40th minute, Baihe Lamu's barb was missed. In the 42th minute, Baihe Lamu's goal line cleared, and kicked high at Yu Wang's empty goal in 45th minute. In the 45th minute, Baihe Lamu scored a goal and scored a 1-0 lead.

The second half of the change of sides, Wang Yudong came on the bench, Wang Yudong's long-range shot was pounced in the 46th minute, Li Xinxiang's shot made a 2-0 shot, Wang Yudong cut inside and assisted Zhu Pengyu headed 3-0, 49th minute, Baihe Lamu's low shot was saved, Zhu Pengyu passed the ball across the boundary in the 65th minute, Wang Yudong made a point and took the penalty 4-0, 70th minute, Wang Yudong's cross made a cross directly 5-0, 74th minute, Kuai Jiwen's heel assisted Kuai Jiwen volleyed 6-0, 75th minute, Wang Yudong's crossed 7-0, 83th minute, the shot hit the frame, 86th minute, Baihe Lamu's hat-trick 8-0, Zhu Pengyu scored a back point and shot 9-0, and 90th minute, Wang Yudong's left-footed world wave 10-0. The Chinese team shot 65 times in the game, and Northern Mariana was basically no threat, and the defense collapsed. This score also set one of the team's big wins against weak teams. U17 and U15 were both defeated them before, but U23 was the first time it was so fierce.

Australia played at home in Timor-Leste earlier. They beat North Mariana 14-0 in the first round, with 49 shots and 38 shots, an average of one goal every 6.4 minutes. This time, they performed a 7-man rotation for Timor-Leste, without using the main player to start. They won't compete with the Chinese team in the last round. They led 3-0 in the first half, scored 3 more in the second half, and scored 6-0. East Timor FIFA ranked 195, and the whole game was passive. Australia had a high ball possession rate and failed to counterattack several times. Australia won 20 goals in two rounds, with full firepower, and five overseas players supported it, and the strength was stable. This rotation was so easy, which means that the bench depth was enough.

Group D standings are now Australia has 6 points and 20 points, China has 6 points and 12 points, Timor-Leste has 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and 3 points and 5 points, and Northern Mariana has 0 points and 24 points. There are 11 groups in the qualifiers, and the top scorer is straight to the main competition. Four best second scores are OK. Goal difference is the key. The Chinese team's two consecutive wins are basically stable, but if they want to go first, they have to win Australia at home on September 9, otherwise they can compete for the best second scorer, because the second goal difference in other groups is not so high. Currently, China tied for fourth in 11 second scorer, but the result of the last round will change. In the first round, Australia beat 14 goals and threw China away. In this round, China chased a little but was still 9 goals away. If China wins in the last round, it will be able to surpass the top spot and tie the 7 points. If it loses, the disadvantage of the goal difference may fall out of the best second, but the probability is small.

The Chinese team's opponent configurations are both Timor-Leste and Northern Mariana, and East Timor is the weakest in Southeast Asia. China won 2-1 in the first round. Wang Yudong and Baihe Lamu scored, but Xiang Yuwang wasted several opportunities and did not win many goals. Northern Mariana was even worse, with a small population and amateur players. He was abused 14-0 in the first round by Australia. The Chinese team was slow to heat up in the first half. In the second half, Wang Yudong changed the situation when he came on the court, scoring 4 goals and assisting 4. Baihe Lamu hat trick, Zhu Pengyu made a double hit, Li Xinxiang and Kuai Jiwen also scored goals, and this big victory directly pulled the goal difference to 12, getting rid of the passive situation in the first round. Australia was 14-0 in the first round, and the second round was 6-0 in the rotation. The strategy was clear, even if it was the top spot, East Timor failed to withstand at home. They conceded zero goals in two games and defended the same defensively.

The other groups in the entire qualifiers were also in chaos. Jordan, Bhutan, Group A, Qatar, Group H, Brunei, Group I, UAE, 13-0 Guam, many teams won big scores. The Chinese team's 10-0 is not the strongest, but it is considered normal for opponents with such a big gap in strength. Northern Mariana conceded 24 goals in two games, defending a mess, and East Timor lost 7 in two games, ranking third, and there is no hope of qualifying. The 23-man roster of the Chinese team is 15 people, 2023U20 elderly people, 9 people have joined the adult team, 7 people have played, with a strong foundation, coach Antonio emphasized rotation, this adjustment was timely, and the firepower was fully launched in the second half. The Australian roster has five overseas players, with enough experience. They are probably the main players in the last round and are snatching the top spot.

qualifying situation is beneficial to China. Two wins weak teams have 6 points. They are against Australia at home in the last round, and they win the first place. They draw 7 points and have a goal difference, but the other second-place team is not so high. They basically enter the top four.. Australia wants to maintain the top spot, at least it won’t lose, but they have a lot of goals and can even get a top spot if they draw. Song Kai of the Chinese team supervised the game, conducted training in the morning, and prepared for the final round of the Australian team's fast break. This 10-0 not only was the score, but also tested the offensive efficiency. The whole game was 65 kicks, with a high conversion rate. Northern Mariana team only entered the AFC in 2020 and had no official game experience. It is an opportunity for the Chinese team to train, but it also exposed the problem of slow warm-up in the first half, so we have to change it quickly. Australia has 20 goals in two games, with an average of one goal every 4.5 minutes. Its efficiency is scary. East Timor cannot withstand normal
