Chapter 72: The Situation Changes

On the field, the warring parties have reached a tacit understanding, on the surface you come and go, playing very lively, in fact, they have not done their best, and they have begun to reserve their physical strength for the next game.

Off the field, although the score no longer changes, it can't dispel the enthusiasm of the fans, and the score of 3:0 is enough to satisfy the fans.

Such a score, previously only in the warm-up game, when facing the fish belly team, the Dragon Country team can play, when at such a life-and-death juncture, facing a team as close to the strength of the Uzbekistan team, won so heartily?

It is from this time that the fans who love and support the Dragon Country Team really realize that the current Dragon Country Team is indeed different from the Dragon Country Team in their impression!

In the first half of the game, the Dragon Country team completed a total of fifteen shots on goal and scored three goals, of which Shen Feng alone made five shots and took care of those three goals.

In the second half, in the 80th minute, the Dragon team only completed five shots, although none of them hit, but these five shots all hit the range of the Uzbekistan team's goal, which posed a great threat to the Uzbekistan team's goal.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team made a high and low block, so that the Dragon Country team did not continue to expand the score.

Uzbekistan, on the other hand, had four shots on goal in the first half, two of which hit the woodwork, but none of them were threatening; In the 80th minute of the second half, the Uzbek team only completed one shot on goal, and it was a long-range shot from 40 meters away from the goal of the Dragon Country, and the result was an anti-aircraft gun.

In this game, there were 22 players in the game, the busiest was the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team, and the most idle was the goalkeeper of the Dragon Country team.

Seeing that the time of the game passed little by little, and the result of the victory was unshakable, the Longguo team began to make personnel adjustments, first replacing the goal-scorer Shen Feng, and letting him accept the applause of the fans in the stadium alone, and then, replacing the team's Dinghai Shenneedle and the hard-working old captain Zheng Zhi with a break to prepare for the next game.

Replacing Shen Feng on the field was Gao Lin, who was also from the Evergrande team, so that the 7 Evergrande players recruited by the Dragon Country team this year all played in this game.

Replacing Zheng Zhi on the field was Zhao Xuri, who was re-selected for the national team.

Seeing that the Dragon Country team replaced the most threatening Shen Feng from the field, the Uzbekistan team also made personnel adjustments, replacing two physically fit strikers in a row, obviously wanting to save a little face in the final stage of the game.

However, it was indeed the Dragon Country team that took the lead.

After the personnel adjustment, the new players naturally want to perform as much as possible in the only playing time they have, hoping to get more opportunities in the next game.

After Zhao Xuri and Gao Lin came out, they completed a direct connection in the front court, Zhao Xuri crossed from the bottom, Gao Lin grabbed the point in the middle, and the ball was strong and heavy, but the angle was slightly correct, and the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team bravely held up the crossbar with one palm.

Corner kick for the Dragons.

Hao Junmin hoisted the ball directly in front of the goal, and the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team who was attacked took the first step and knocked the ball out of the threat area with both fists, and the ball flew out of the penalty area and landed at the feet of Deng Hanwen, who hoisted the ball back into the Uzbekistan team's penalty area, causing chaos in front of the Uzbekistan team's goal.

The defenders of the Uzbekistan team, in a hurry, made a slightly bigger defensive move, knocked the central defender Feng Xiaoting, who was assisted by the Dragon Country team, to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee whistled on the field and awarded the Dragon Team a penalty kick that was the icing on the cake.

Although the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team judged the right direction, Gao Lin's penalty was extremely fast and the angle was tricky enough to make the goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan team unreachable.

4:0!

The die is cast!

The Uzbek team, which was hit hard, no longer had the courage to pursue face-saving, and the two sides tacitly consumed the little time left in the game.

The referee on the field also complied with the public opinion, and without waiting for the end of the injury time, he blew the whistle for the end of the game in advance, and fixed the score of this game at 4:0!

The Dragons won an unprecedented victory in the Asian round of 12 in this World Cup qualifier!

With this victory, the Dragons have risen to 11 points and a goal difference of 1.

At the same time, the results of the other two games that opened at the same time in Group A came one after another, and the strong dialogue between the Iranian team and the South Korean team, which was previously ranked in the top two points of Group A, ended with a score of 0:0; Syria, which previously had the same points as the Dragons, beat Qatar 3-1 at home.

So far, the Iranian team has remained unbeaten in nine rounds, with 21 points, and has obtained a direct ticket to the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia in advance.

South Korea has four wins, two draws and three losses in nine games, accumulating 14 points and a goal difference, and continues to rank second in the group, but the points lead is no longer obvious.

After the Uzbekistan team lost to the Dragon Country by 4 goals, it has 4 wins and 5 losses in nine games, accumulating 12 points and a goal difference of -4, although it is still in third place in the group, but the lead is already quite weak.

The Dragons team counted this big win, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in nine games, the points rose to 11 points, and the goal difference rose to 1.

However, due to the fact that the Syrian team with the same points before also won this round of matches and achieved two goal differences, so in the case of continuing to have the same number of points, the Syrian team continued to rank fourth in the group ahead of the Dragon Country team with a goal difference, and the Dragon Country team is still fifth in the group.

After the defeat of the Qatar team, it has completely lost hope of qualifying and was eliminated early.

Now, the situation in Group A is that Iran will qualify early, Qatar will be eliminated early, and the four teams in second to fifth place in the group will only have a point difference of only 2 points.

There is only one final round left in the tournament, with four teams competing for a ticket directly to the World Cup finals in Russia, as well as a place in the play-offs!

South Korea and Uzbekistan, who lead the points, will face each other in the final round, and whoever wins this game will get a direct ticket to qualify, while the losing team may even lose the qualification for the play-offs.

Syria and Dragons, who are behind in points, must also win the final round if they want to have any hope of qualifying!

The opponent of the Syrian team in the last round is the Iranian team, the first team in the group, and the opponent of the dragon team in the last round is the Qatar team from the bottom of the group.
