Chapter 281: Penalty Shootout

After the end of the seventh round, the Chinese team won nine points, overwhelmed the Japanese team by one point, and temporarily ranked second.

Australia is now 13 points, and it can be said that Japan, Huaxia and Australia all have a chance to qualify directly.

And the next three teams will also play each other directly, and the direct battle will determine the fate of the three teams.

Of course, Bahrain also have a chance now, and if they can win the next two games, it is also possible to qualify.

It's just that Uzbekistan, which has only four points in the last place, has no hope of qualifying.

The remaining three rounds will all be held in June, while the Chinese team only has two games left, and the final round will have a bye.

Therefore, many people analyze that if the Chinese team wants to qualify, it must win against Australia in the home game, and it cannot lose to the Japanese team away.

It's not a small challenge, and Australia now have to secure their direct qualification, so they will definitely have to fight for this title as well.

However, the three consecutive victories of the Huaxia team still made many fans feel a little gratified, and the criticism of Ali was even more severe.

Excellent tactics do not mean that you can win, but the tactics suitable for the Chinese team are the best tactics.

June is fast approaching, and Huaxia are at home to Australia, and this game is very important because the other game starts at the same time, so neither side knows what will happen to the other side in the end.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for Uzbekistan to turn the tables, they have not won a game at home in the top ten, they have lost all, and now Uzbekistan is basically eliminated, they are not expected to go all out.

Therefore, the Huaxia team must win all this game, otherwise, Huaxia, which has one less game than the Japanese team, can only compete for third place.

This time, there is only Huang Huo alone.

"The importance of this game is self-evident, and I hope the Chinese lads can work hard to win this game." Of course, Huang Huo knows Australia's ability, and the two sides have also played each other in the top 20, and the Chinese team did not suffer from Australia, and even won a victory.

It's just that the victory itself is because Australia has already qualified, and it is also a bit suspicious.

This time it is the main Australian team of the noodles.

The Australian team, which played at full strength, was still very powerful, and the Chinese backline that they played every time they attacked was terrified.

In terms of physical confrontation, Huaxia cannot be compared with the Australian team.

Therefore, although this game is a home game, the problem faced by the Chinese team is very big.

"Oh, that's a dangerous shot." Huang Huo couldn't help but say.

Huaxia's backline is very unstable, and Australia's offensive impact is very strong, which makes it very uncomfortable for Huaxia to defend.

And Australia's style of play is also extremely simple, with long passes and hanging.

The Huaxia team has no way to face such an attack, and every time they fight for the top, they can't compete with the opponent, if it weren't for the opponent's ability to grasp the opportunity, the Huaxia team would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

"Oops, this ball post saved the Huaxia team." Australia's luck wasn't great, either, as their ball hit the post and allowed the Chinese to escape.

"Compared to the Australian team, which is playing at full strength, we are still a little bit weaker." Huang Huo is very helpless, but now the Huaxia team as a whole is very passive.

In fact, Zhu Bo's idea is that it is good not to lose this game, as long as he does not lose, he will be able to get a chance to play the play-offs in the next game against the Japanese team.

Australia attacked very fiercely, and the Chinese team didn't even have a chance to play a fast attack.

The first half ended in a draw, with Australia failing to score and the Chinese team not even having a chance to reach the heart of the Australian team.

This was still the case in the second half, Australia increased their attack, while the Chinese team was still mainly defensive, and the two sides did not play hotly at all.

"So far, the score between the two sides is still 0-0, and the Japanese team on the other side has scored a goal and leads Uzbekistan, if the game ends with such a scoreline, the situation of the Chinese team is not very good." Huang Huo said worriedly.

The coaches of both sides are also helpless now, the Chinese team is suppressed and can't get out, and Australia's luck is too bad, several attacks are close at hand, but it is a little bit worse.

Just when everyone thought that the game was going to end like this, the unexpected happened.

Jin Feng, who was watched all over the court, suddenly withdrew to the backfield and snatched the ball from Australia's feet.

"The game went to stoppage time, and the two sides still didn't score, no, Jin Feng withdrew, and he got the football." Huang Huo suddenly came to his senses.

Indeed, for Goldwind, all he has to do now is send the football inside the opponent's door.

The Australian team, which was in an offensive state all over the field, still had a lot of physical consumption, and Jinfeng took the ball near the midfield before they reacted and immediately came over to chase and intercept.

Jin Feng was very flexible to dodge the opponent's interception and pounced directly into the penalty area.

The goalkeeper panicked all of a sudden, what to do in this situation?

Jin Feng was ready to shake the opponent, who knew that the goalkeeper was even more nervous than him, and unceremoniously stepped forward to force Jin Feng, who knew that he did not touch the ball, but touched Jin Feng.

"A foul, it's a foul." Huang shouted loudly, falling in the penalty area, this would not be justified if it were not a foul.

Indeed, the referee did not hesitate to blow a foul and showed a red card to the Australian goalkeeper.

'It's a penalty, it's a penalty. Huang Huo was very excited.

The Huaxia team was extremely passive throughout the game, and at the last moment, they actually got a penalty opportunity.

Australia's goalkeeper was sent off, and Australia ran out of substitutions, with their captain making a cameo.

Jin Feng took the penalty himself.

The whole audience was quiet, this goal is very important, whether the Chinese team can take the initiative to qualify for the World Cup in their own hands, they all watch this goal.

Jin Feng rarely takes penalty kicks, of course, his penalty skills are not bad, in the face of the opponent is just an amateur goalkeeper, Jin Feng attacks more easily.

"We scored, we scored, and in the last minute of the game, the Chinese team beat the Australian team with a penalty kick and continued to play second in the group." Huang Huo shouted excitedly.

The victory in this game is very important.

The fans in the stadium were instantly boiling, and finally the Chinese team defeated the Australian team 1-0 away.
