[Sports Doha Direct Attack]The 2023 Asian Cup will be staged in the final round of Group A on Monday (22nd). China, Tajikistan and Lebanon compete for qualification. The situation took a turn for the worse within 90 minutes. Lebanon, which took the lead in the second half, already qualified for the second place, but lost to Tajikistan with ten players, who qualified for the top 16 in their first appearance. China lost to Qatar by a single goal, falling to the bottom of the list and finally ranking third with 2 points. It was still not completely desperate to qualify. The result also means that if the Hong Kong football team takes all three points on Tuesday (23rd), it will have a higher score than the national football team and have an advantage in the fight for the best third place.

The situation in Group A was very chaotic before the game. In addition to Qatar, which has won two games, China, Tajikistan and Lebanon still have the opportunity to qualify directly for second place. Facing a host country that has made nine main-select transfers, China put away Wu Lei and Dai Weijun for this match and re-assigned Wei Shihao, who was playing for the first time this year, to take charge. The player was active in the first half, but he repeatedly missed the goal or was rescued by the goalkeeper. As a result, the two teams had no records in the half. On the other side, Tajikistan, which was ranked third before the game, once scored a goal in the half, but it was ruled invalid for offside.
Two minutes after Lebanon changed sides, Bassel Jradi scored a world-leading shot, helping the team temporarily advance to second place with 4 points. In another match, Qatar replaced two main players, Akram Afif and Hassan Al Haidos, in the 64th minute. The results were achieved in just 2 minutes. The former assisted the latter with a corner kick and the latter scored a goal.

However, things took a turn for the worse in the last 10 minutes of legal time. Tajikistan, which had one more player starting from the 56th minute, tied with Parvizdzhon Umarbaev’s goal in the 80th minute. If the three teams have the same score, the number of goals scored by the teams will be calculated first. If the game ends with this result, China will fall to the bottom of the list and Tajikistan will take second place with the better goals scored. This team, participating for the first time, came back with a goal from Nuriddin Khamrokulov in stoppage time, “saving” China to third place. As a result, Tajikistan maintained a 2:1 victory after 16 minutes of extra long stoppage time and qualified for second place with 4 points. China is in third place with 2 points, but its chances of becoming one of the four best third-place teams are very slim.
If the national football team wants to qualify as the best third place, Syria in Group B needs to win at least two yellows with India in a 0:0 match, plus the Hong Kong football match and Palestine, in order to win with better discipline points and goal difference respectively. Advance through Syria and Palestine.
