If China's first goal loss in the first half was a huge surprise for China, the second goal loss made them realize the cruelty and reality of the World Cup.
In the 71st minute of the game, Pineda passed again. Franco's volley at the origin of the penalty area was blocked by Liu Yunfei's save. Fonseca controlled the ball and crossed to assist Pérez to shoot again from outside the penalty area. The ball was sent into the lower left corner of the goal, which completely knocked China into the abyss!
"The third goal. Now it can almost be said that China's first performance in this World Cup will end in failure. Mexico's victory was sealed by Pérez.
The biggest problem in this game is that China's core player, Qin Xiong, can't play to his strength under the opponent's midfield. He is the player who has been fouled the most times and the player who has broken through the most times in the game. But it is difficult for him to threaten Mexico's goal in a mobile game. He is in a difficult situation where he is isolated and helpless. "
The Nuremberg World Cup stadium became a mecca for the Mexican fans to party.
Captain Marcos rushed to the front field frantically to celebrate with the goal scorer, Pérez.
Maybe he was venting his unwillingness to lose to Arsenal, which Qin Xiong played for, in the Champions League final.
He also thought about it countless times. Why did Barcelona lose?
Maybe it was because Barcelona's ideals were too high.
They almost never thought about containing Qin Xiong and Henry first. Instead, they pursued a beautiful defeat of their opponents.
Mexico was not Barcelona.
They would face the World Cup pragmatically and not underestimate any opponent!
Even if it was an unknown China team, Mexico also took it seriously!
The China team, which was already behind by three goals, broke the hearts of the China fans in the stands and in front of the TV.
Beautiful fantasies were shattered in front of their eyes. No blow could be crueler than such reality.
But Qin Xiong was still working hard to break through with his personal ability.
In the 79th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Shao Jiayi's pass on the left side of the front field with his back to Pérez. He used the tip of his foot to pick up the ball after it rolled over, and then directly turned around and knocked the ball over Pérez's head with his heel.
In front of Perez, Qin Xiong was able to use Rainbow Pass more easily because Perez was short.
After the football flew over Pérez's head and landed at the feet of Qin Xiong, who turned to move forward, Pardo was in front of Qin Xiong. He immediately dribbled the ball horizontally to get rid of Pardo, and then coolly passed by in front of Toledo with a continuous Marseille spin.
The entire set of movements was smooth and natural.
After the Mexican team took a three-goal lead, they obviously restrained themselves in defense because the midfielders had yellow cards and were afraid of being sent off for the next game. However, the players on the defensive line were not worried.
When Qin Xiong slanted towards the rear defensive line from the flank, Osorio fiercely shoveled the ball, forcing Qin Xiong to jump up and dodge immediately after he touched the ball.
Although Osorio did not touch the ball and did not kick Qin Xiong, he was still penalized by the referee for a dangerous tackle!
Qin Xiong placed the football at the spot where the foul was committed. After the Mexican team set up the human wall, he was ready to take the free kick.
Now the Mexican fans in the stands were very relaxed. After all, the team was leading by three goals and victory was in their hands.
The China fans, on the other hand, seemed to have their expectations reduced a lot after witnessing Qin Xiong's free kick after free kick to no avail.
Qin Xiong's teammates, on the other hand, were already filled with disappointment and panic because they had fought hard for a long time without getting any rewards. They did not care too much about the result of Qin Xiong's free kick.
Only Qin Xiong's eyes were as firm and spirited as ever. He carefully observed the Mexican team's human wall, the position of the goalkeeper, and other details.
Except for a few players who were tall, the rest of the Mexican team's players were not outstanding in height.
He had bypassed the human wall three times before, but because his position was not very good or he did not grasp his strength well, it looked like he was far away from the goal.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiong began to run up. For the free kick in front of the penalty area on the right side, he put on a powerful volley posture.
The Mexican players who acted as a human wall tried their best to jump. They knew their shortcomings and were also afraid that Qin Xiong's free kick would go around their heads again and fly to the goal.
So they tried their best to jump.
Among them, the smaller players, such as Pérez and Pineda, tried their best to jump.
Even if they had to use their faces and bodies to block Qin Xiong's shot, they would not hesitate.
As long as they could defend their team's goal, they were willing to pay any price!
What they did not expect was that Qin Xiong's powerful volley posture deceived everyone.
He actually chose to push the shot the moment he shot!
Pineda was already prepared to use his body to meet Qin Xiong's violent volley, but now he looked down at his body in disbelief as he jumped up and rose!
The football rolled toward him and passed under his feet at an extremely fast speed!
He wished he had weights on his shoulders so that he could quickly land to block the football.
When his body began to fall, all the Mexican players who were in the human wall collectively looked back. They saw the goalkeeper, Sanchez, standing in place and turning his head to look at the bottom right corner of the goal in astonishment. The football brushed the inside of the goalpost and entered the goal!
Qin Xiong directly scored with a free kick!
Qin Xiong had to tilt his head to see whether the football had gone in or not. He stuck his head out to look and found that the football had rolled into the goal. He immediately ran in the direction of the goal to save time to kick off!
He would not give up until the game was over.
And after he scored, it seemed to reignite the enthusiasm of the China fans.
All the China fans in the stands burst into cheers.
"The ball went in! Qin Xiong scored the first goal in the history of the World Cup finals for the China team! This is a goal that will go down in history!
Qin Xiong is so smart. He took advantage of the moment when the Mexican team's human wall took off and he actually pushed the ball directly into the goal!
There are still ten minutes left in the game. Can the China team create a miracle?
Will this goal come a little late?
We can see from the reaction of the captain, Qin Xiong, after the goal, that he has not given up. He is fighting for time in the game to create a miracle! "
The Mexican captain, Marcos, had a dignified look in his eyes and a serious expression. The moment Qin Xiong scored, his heart trembled slightly.
It was as if his heart had stopped for a second.
He was really worried that Qin Xiong would perform a miracle!
He immediately reminded his teammates to strengthen their marking of Qin Xiong and at the same time slowed down the pace of the team. The Mexican team's manager also controlled the pace of the game by substituting players. To put it bluntly, it was to weaken the offense and station troops in the backfield to not give the China team any possibility of a comeback!
From the 80th minute of the game, it was difficult for the China team to push the attack into the dangerous area of the Mexican defense in front of the goal because the opponent had too many players involved in the defense, and the China team did not have the strength to break through the intensive defense.
