Words:1873Update:22/06/30 12:14:27
The Angola team, which was two goals behind, smelled despair.
They still had no way to restrict the China team captain, Qin Xiong.
When they had a hint of hesitation in their hearts, the news from the other game reignited their fighting spirit.
The Portuguese team led the Mexican team by 1: 0!
The news was extremely unfavorable for the China team, but Qin Xiong did not realize this at all because he did not pay attention.
He focused all his attention on the game he was involved in.
The Angola team's situation was clear: defeat the China team, and the probability of advancing to the top 16 was greatly increased.
It was ironic.
The China team was now leading by two goals, but combined with the score of the other game, the probability of the China team advancing was still lower than the Angola team.
Because if Mexico could not reverse the Portuguese team, it would be useless even if the China team beat the Angola team by 100 goals.
Compared to Mexico reversing the Portuguese team, it was obvious that the possibility of Angola reversing the China team was higher.
The Angola team tried their best to score.
They paid the price again for the slightly empty defense before the first half.
Qin Xiong charged into the dangerous area of Angola's defense in the counterattack. After he forcefully broke through Figueiredo with acceleration, he sent a very comfortable straight ball to Zhang Pengfei.
Zhang Pengfei forced his leg to shoot under Jiang Ba's interference. The quality of the shot was good, and the goalkeeper, Ricardo, flew to save and blocked the ball!
Carli was about to lift the football that Ricardo blocked, but a figure rushed out from beside him and directly shot the ball into the empty goal!
Qin Xiong!
It was still Qin Xiong!
"Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick! He was too sharp in front of the goal. It was a pity that Zhang Pengfei could not send the ball into the goal, but Qin Xiong's timely appearance allowed the attack to score a goal!
In the two years he played in the Premier League, Qin Xiong became a nightmare for many opponents' defenders, especially in the season that just ended. Many players who played against him said that Qin Xiong was difficult to restrict.
The Angola team wanted to win the game so badly that they failed to keep their minds balanced and their minds clear. Now they had lost three goals to the China team in the first half. If there were no accidents, the China team would win the game!
However, we are still far from advancing to the top 16, so we can only pin our hopes on Mexico.
Sigh!
The good news is that in the other match, Mexico has also scored a goal. They're behind Portugal 1: 2. There's still 45 minutes left in the second half. Maybe a miracle will happen! "
During the halftime break, the excitement of China's lead was dampened by the news of Portugal's 2: 1 lead over Mexico.
Ali Khan was also a little disappointed. He thought that if the China team could achieve the expected result in the first match, then the China team would have already advanced to the top 16.
It was a pity that time couldn't be reversed.
The inexperienced China team may have made a small mistake, but it ruined their chance to advance.
Qin Xiong cleaned up his jersey and shoes step by step to prepare for the second half of the game. He didn't care about anything else at all.
He only had 270 minutes in the World Cup, which was held once every four years. It didn't matter. He could face it freely as long as he played the game well and left without regrets.
Perhaps Qin Xiong's calm state affected his teammates. Before the start of the second half, the China team cheered up.
Since they were destined to leave, they had to cherish the last 45 minutes more.
The second half of the game kicked off with the enthusiastic cheers of the China fans in the stands of the Leipzig World Cup Stadium.
The Angola team did not adjust their formation, but they changed their posture.
They took the initiative to contain Qin Xiong's play.
The China team's morale was high, and the players played more freely after taking the lead. They were completely relieved of their nervousness.
Shao Jiayi shuttled back and forth on the flank. Sun Jihai and Zhao Junzhe's offense and defense switch began to shine. Zheng Zhi's support in the midfield became more and more efficient.
The China team widened the score in the 64th minute of the game. Sun Jihai passed the ball from the flank. Zhang Pengfei grabbed the point and was about to shoot when he was knocked down by Carley. The referee decisively gave the China team a penalty kick.
Qin Xiong took the penalty kick and hit it. He became the devil in the eyes of the Angola players!
"Four Great Joys! Qin Xiong broke out in this game. He scored the fourth goal! Now the China team leads the opponent 4: 0 in the World Cup! "
The overall strength of the Angola team might not be much different from the China team, but Qin Xiong's play could not be contained. If they focused on restricting Qin Xiong from the beginning of the game, they might get more and more comfortable.
But doing such work when they were three goals behind would definitely yield half the result with twice the effort.
First, Qin Xiong had already released. Second, the state and mentality of the two teams were completely different.
The Angola team created a two-point attack opportunity in the 78th minute of the second half through a mobile game shot. The striker, Acqua, pulled a goal back.
The China team became active in the last ten minutes of the game.
It was as if everyone was striving to leave something on the stage of the World Cup.
Before the end of the game, Qin Xiong kicked a corner kick. Li Weifeng's header was blocked. Zhao Junzhe shot a long shot from the outside. The football was touched by Zhang Pengfei in the small penalty area and then deflected and flew into the goal!
The China team defeated the Angola team with a score of 5: 1 at the end of the game!
"The game is over. The World Cup Group D games are all over. The China team defeated the Angola team with a big score of 5: 1. The captain, Qin Xiong, performed the four great joys of scoring. He is the top scorer of this World Cup with six goals in three games in the group stage.
The China team's score of one win, one draw, and one loss in three games in the group stage with four points is actually enough to satisfy all the Chinese fans.
The China team created a milestone record. We got the first victory in the World Cup finals!
But we still have regrets because the Portuguese team defeated the Mexican team by 2: 1.
We and the Mexican team shared the points equally. We have more goals than the opponent. Because we lost to Mexico in the first game of the group stage, Mexico took the second place in the group.
The China team's World Cup is over.
Qin Xiong, the captain of the China team who just turned 21, is the hope of all the Chinese fans.
This is his experience in the World Cup. We look forward to him leading the China team to make a comeback four years later! "
At the moment of the end of the game, many players in the China team actually had similar expressions as the Angola players.
Disappointment, unwillingness!
Qin Xiong stood in place and took a deep breath. He actually did not know how to face the current situation.
The World Cup was not over yet, but he had to pack his luggage and go home.
This really left a bad taste in his mouth.
When he was about to thank the fans as usual, many Angola players surrounded him and scrambled to exchange jerseys with Qin Xiong …
