10-0! 6-0! U23 Asian qualifiers: The national football team won a goal difference, and they fought to the death in the last round to compete for Australia!

On September 6, the second round of the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers began. The Chinese men's football team was at home Xi'an International Football Center. With Baihe Lamu's hat trick and Wang Yudong's amazing performance, they swept the Northern Mariana Islands 10-0 and achieved a key goal difference. In another game in the same group, Australia beat East Timor 6-0 and continued to lead Group D with a goal difference.

The Chinese coach Antonio made adjustments to the starting lineup in this game. Zhu Pengyu and Li Xinxiang got a starting chance, while Wang Yudong, who performed well in the first round, was temporarily on standby. At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team launched a fierce offensive. Just one minute into the game, Baihe Lamu scored and was judged invalid for offside. Then Peng Xiao headed the ball over the crossbar and missed the long shot towards Yu Wang, and Zhu Pengyu missed the opportunity many times. It was not until the 6th minute of stoppage time in the first half that Kuai Jiwen's shot was saved and Baihe Lamu made a follow-up shot, which broke the deadlock.

The fight will be changed again, and Wang Yudong will appear as a substitute to change the situation immediately. In the 46th minute, his long shot caused the goalkeeper to miss, and Li Xinxiang scored. One minute later, Wang Yudong assisted Zhu Pengyu to head the ball. In the 67th minute, he personally created a point and took the penalty and hit it. In the 70th minute, Wang Yudong scored with a free kick and completed the good show of passing and shooting. Since then, the Chinese team's offensive has not diminished. Baihe Lamu scored two more goals to complete a hat-trick. Zhu Pengyu and Kuai Jiwen scored one after another, and finally locked the score at 10-0.

It is worth noting that the Northern Mariana Islands are composed of amateur players and have not yet obtained official membership of FIFA. In history, Chinese youth teams at all levels won big scores in confrontation with them, and the result of this game was also expected.

Technical statistics show that the Chinese team's ball possession rate is as high as 83%, 23 of which were shot directly, and 12 corner kicks were obtained, fully controlling the rhythm of the game. The Northern Mariana Islands had only one shot that missed the goal, which was difficult to pose a threat.

In another game in the same group, the Australian team conducted a large rotation and still beat East Timor 6-0. After two rounds, Australia ranked first in the group with 6 points and 20 goals, while the Chinese team also won 6 points in two consecutive wins, with 11 goals and ranked second. East Timor and Northern Mariana Islands both suffered two consecutive losses and were eliminated early. In other group matches, Japan narrowly defeated Myanmar 2-1, Kuwait defeated Afghanistan 1-0; South Korea defeated Laos 7-0, Malaysia defeated Mongolia 7-0, Yemen defeated Bangladesh 1-0, Iraq defeated Oman 1-0, and Palestine defeated Sri Lanka 5-0.

According to the competition rules, 11 top groups will directly advance to the main competition, and 4 second-place teams with the best results will also be qualified to advance. Although the Chinese men's football team has achieved two consecutive victories, the direct dialogue with Australia in the last round will determine the final qualifying situation. On September 9, the Chinese team will face Australia in Xi'an, and this showdown may determine the first place in Group D.

The Chinese team will prepare for targeted competition in the next few days based on the characteristics of the Australian team. Although the opponent has many overseas players and has shown strong attack power in the first two games, the Chinese men's football team, which has the advantage of home court, will still strive to win and strive to advance to the main competition as the top spot in the group.
