2022 U23 Asian Cup group stage, as of the evening of June 9, Beijing time, the group stage schedules are all over. Saudi Arabia and Japan both won in the last round and qualified from Group D together. At this point, all the quarterfinals of this event were released, and the distribution was relatively balanced, including East Asia 2 Team + Southeast Asia Vietnam + Central Asia 2 Team + West Asia 2 Team + Australia.
U23 Asian Cup standings:
A Group Iran and Qatar teamed up to be eliminated. I am afraid most fans did not expect that this group did have a lot of upset. Uzbekistan has the advantage of the home court and performed extremely strongly in the group stage. It had previously swept Qatar 6-0; Turkmenistan defeated Iran to rank at the bottom of the promotion. The situation in the group
B is relatively normal. Australia and Iraq itself have stronger overall strength. The overall performance of these two teams is indeed stronger, and they both won the quarterfinals as they wish. The South Korean team in the group
C were challenged by three Southeast Asian teams in turn. The South Korean team performed well. Although they were tied by Vietnam, they successfully defeated Thailand and Malaysia and advanced to the top in the group. Vietnam beat Thailand and advanced to the second place in the group, and the Southeast Asian team is getting stronger and stronger.
D Group 3D Round:
Japan 3-0 Tajikistan : In this game Japanese team scored in the 11th minute, with a very smooth start and took the lead early. After that, the Japanese team continued to take the advantage and expanded their lead in the 56th minute; then the Japanese team was sent off one person, but Tajikistan still failed to seize the opportunity and conceded 1 goal at the last moment.
Saudi Arabia 2-0 UAE : Neither side scored a goal in the first half, Saudi team ensured promotion with 21 points and was not busy with the attack. In the second half, Saudi Arabia scored in the 56th minute. The UAE had to win to advance. In the 74th minute, one more man was sent off, and the situation became extremely passive. Saudi Arabia scored another goal in stoppage time in injury time, and the hope of the UAE team's promotion was completely blocked, and the suspense ended.
1/4 final match situation:
Uzbekistan VS Iraq : Uzbek performed extremely well in the group stage and had a home advantage. The hope of advancement next is relatively greater. Iraqi team stumbled in the group stage. It was not easy to advance to the quarterfinals. The next level was indeed difficult. The host has always been difficult to play.
Australia VS Turkmenistan : Australia performed well in the group stage, but its offensive firepower is not strong, so you need to be careful next. Turkmenistan is relatively energy-consuming, which is their characteristic. It consumes Iran in the group stage and ties Qatar, and reaches the quarterfinals historically.
South Korea VS Japan : Japan and South Korea meet directly, the East Asian team locked in one semifinals seat, and confirmed that one team missed the semifinals. Judging from the performance of this event, the Japanese team performed relatively well and had more opportunities in the future. Several opponents in the Korean team played relatively better, but they still had a hard time playing.
Saudi Arabia VS Vietnam : The gap between the two sides is still quite large. The Saudi team performed very well in the group stage. Not only did they have good firepower on the offensive end, but their performance on the defensive end was very stable, and they did not concede three consecutive games. Vietnamese football is developing very fast, but its weaknesses are also obvious, so it is very difficult to follow.
