After fighting with one less person, the Chinese team was indeed greatly affected at both offensive and defensive ends.

Although Lu Wenbin is strong, he can't crush the Japanese team with a group of ordinary teammates.

Of course, because of the speed of Lu Wenbin's counterattack, the Japanese team did not dare to despise the Chinese team, which was fighting with one less man, and did not dare to concentrate all its energy on attacking.

The two sides went back and forth, constantly switching between attack and defense, but they both played carefully and never scored again.

It wasn't until the 39th minute that the Chinese team ushered in the second goal.

Dewey broke the ball at the back and passed to Lu Wenbin, who smashed the ball past the Japanese midfielder who grabbed it, and then passed to the side.

After receiving the ball, full-back Yu Hai broke through the cross on the side, and Gao Lin followed up in the middle to push the ball into the net before the opponent's defender cleared it in the big forbidden area.

As the striker of the Chinese team, Gao Lin finally scored and took a 2-1 lead for the Chinese team again.

The Chinese team, which played with one less man, took the lead again, which made the few Chinese fans in the stands cheer immediately.

Unfortunately, the Chinese team's lead could not be maintained until the end of the first half.

Because of the lack of a midfielder, the Chinese team has problems with the depth and width of the midfield defense.

In the 44th minute, Shinji Kagawa's midfield straight plug directly penetrated the Chinese team's defense, and the Japanese team's single striker Maeda Ryuichi successfully reversed offside and received this wonderful pass at the top of the arc of the Chinese team's forbidden area.

Ryoichi Maeda took two steps forward, adjusted a bit, and then grabbed the shot before Zheng Zhi, who was returning to the defense, and hit a far corner, kicking the ball from the armpit of Zeng Cheng into the Chinese team's goal.

Towards the end of the first half, Japan equalized again, and tens of thousands of Japanese fans throughout the Tokyo National Stadium erupted in warm applause and cheers.

China and Japan went into the break with a score of 2-2.

When they left the field, the Chinese players were obviously much more tired than the Japanese team, including Lu Wenbin.

After all, there is one less person to fight, and everyone in the Chinese team, regardless of the offensive and defensive ends, is bound to run more than usual in the game to make up for the disadvantage of one less person.

Especially Lu Wenbin, if it weren't for the fact that he often retreated to participate in the defense and help Zhao Xuri, the Chinese team might have to concede the goal.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of Lu Wenbin that the Chinese team retains the opportunity and confidence to win.

Even if there is one less person to fight, as long as Lu Wenbin is there, the Japanese team has not dared to press the attack, and the Chinese team members have maintained the confidence to win the final victory.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 51st minute, Lu Wenbin counterattacked with the ball, and after passing two people, former teammate Nagatomo Yudu stretched out his foot to destroy the ball from the side, and the counterattack did not start.

In the 59th minute, Japan's attack hit the Chinese team's forbidden zone, and Ryoichi Maeda got a good shot in space, but his shot was slightly wide of the post.

It wasn't until the 63rd minute that the Chinese team finally scored the third goal before the Japanese team.

This time, it was fullback Zhang Linpeng who suddenly stepped forward, and after receiving Lu Wenbin's side ball, he broke through the bottom cross on the side, and Lu Wenbin followed up in the middle and Gao Lin together to attract the attention of most of the defenders in Japan's forbidden area.

However, neither Lu Wenbin nor Gao Lin could reach the ball, and neither of them touched the ball, but they managed to attract the attention of most of the Japanese defenders and goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima in the forbidden area, creating opportunities for Hao Junmin.

On the other side, Hao Junmin, who cut inside and inserted into the forbidden area, made a leap to the top without interference and headed the ball into the Japanese goal.

Attracted by Lu Wenbin and Gao Lin, Kawashima Eiji was a step slower to save and could only watch the ball go into the net.

The Chinese team, which played with one less man, once again took the lead with a score of 3-2, and both the players and the fans celebrated enthusiastically.

However, after scoring this goal, the players of the Chinese team also looked more and more mentally exhausted as time went on.

The Japanese team itself is a strong team in Asia, and the Chinese team has one less person to fight, and everyone's physical consumption is greater.

In the 72nd minute, Shinji Kagawa's long-range shot from outside the forbidden zone was refracted into the net on Dewey, who did not dodge in time due to fatigue.

This ball is Dewey's own goal, and the ball that refracted into the net is contrary to Zeng Cheng's saving direction, and there is no way.

Japan stubbornly equalized again, and the score was 3-3.

This kind of willpower to keep falling behind and keep equalizing makes the Japanese team quite excited from the players to the fans, and the morale is very high.

On the other hand, the Chinese team kept leading but was constantly equalized, which was a bit of a big blow to morale.

For a while, the Japanese team began to press the Chinese team's half-court attack.

Seeing this, in the 76th minute, Gao Hongbo took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replacing the tired central defender Du Wei and defender Zhao Xuri with Feng Xiaoting and Qin Sheng.

The two had just come on the field, full of energy, and they made up for the lack of numbers with non-stop running, stabilizing the Chinese team's backline.

After stabilizing the backline, the Chinese team naturally still wants to win. Especially Lu Wenbin, if he can't beat the Asian team in the first game, it is simply unacceptable.

Even if it's one less.

In the 80th minute, Qin Sheng, who had just come on the field, cut off Keisuke Honda's dribble with a crisp tackle and passed the ball to Yu Hai.

Yu Hai took a few steps and passed to Lu Wenbin in the middle, who countered with the ball, but was tripped by Makoto Hasebe in front of the court and won a free kick opportunity.

Everyone in the Chinese team was immediately happy, and the Japanese team was like a big enemy.

Everyone knows the horror of Lu Wenbin's free kick.

As a result, Lu Wenbin's free kicks sent by the special skills of the system this time have hit the best angle and went straight to the corner of the goal, but the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Kawashima Eiji, made a world-class save, took off and pulled the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips.

The stands burst into the sighs of Chinese fans and the cheers of Japanese fans who escaped death, and Kawashima was surrounded by Japanese players to thank him for his savings.

As time went on, the Japanese team gradually began to shrink their defense.

Although they have one more person to fight, the pressure brought to them by Lu Wenbin is indeed not small. If it hadn't been for Kawashima Eiji's brave free kick just now, the Japanese team might have conceded the goal.

Therefore, in the next game, the Japanese team contracted the defense line, almost no longer gave the Chinese team a chance to hit within 30 meters of the goal, and even Lu Wenbin personally broke through the ball twice and failed to break into the forbidden area.

For the Japanese team, even if there is one more person to fight, it is a great victory to get a point under the Chinese team led by Lu Wenbin.

This point could eventually be a key point for them to beat Australia for direct qualification.
