Beijing time on September 7th, the second round of the World Preliminary Asian Top 12 started. In the first Group A match, South Korea played against Lebanon at home. In this game, Sun Xingmin missed the game due to muscle discomfort in his right calf. In the first half, the South Korean team had the advantage, but Lebanese goalkeeper Matar took the high gear to resolve the danger. In the second half, Hwang Hee Chan assisted Quan Changxun to score the only goal of the game, helping South Korea beat Lebanon 1-0 and get the first victory of the top 12.
The first round of group A is as follows, Iran ranked first with 3 points, Iraq, South Korea, UAE , Lebanon with 1 point, and Syria was at the bottom with 0 points. South Korea faced Iraq in the first round, and was finally tied with 0-0 when the audience had the advantage. Lee Jae-sung missed the chance to empty the goal. In the first round, Lebanon faced the United Arab Emirates, which was seventh in Asia. With an absolute disadvantage of less than 30% possession rate, Lebanon held the tie stubbornly and did not fall behind.
In terms of ranking, South Korea is ranked 36th in the world, 4th in Asia, 93rd in Lebanon, and 16th in Asia. In terms of strength, the South Korean team has an absolute advantage. The two sides were divided into the same group in the top 40 matches. South Korea faced Lebanon with 1 win and 1 tie and joined hands to advance to the top 12. It is worth mentioning that Lebanon is the lowest ranked among the top 12 teams. They lost to Turkmenistan in the top 40. They were almost upset by Sri Lanka. They were only promoted with the help of most of Asia. No one is optimistic about their prospects in the top 12 games.
However,Lebanon was too tenacious on the defensive end of the first half, especially goalkeeper Matar, who was very helpful. In the 10th minute, Li Zaicheng's close header was dragged out of the crossbar by Matar with one hand. In 16 minutes, Huang Xican shot again and was saved by Matar. In the 26th minute, Luo Sangho shot a low shot in the penalty area and was resolved by Matar again. At the last moment of the first half, the South Korean team besieged Lebanon, and Matar fought bravely twice. In the first half, the two sides made a 0-0 goalless draw.
In the second half, Lebanon's defense became more fierce and even used yellowing to organize the South Korean team's offense. The South Korean team was once deadlocked. In 59 minutes, Huang Heecan passed, Quan Changxun grabbed a point and scored the goal. South Korea finally broke the deadlock and took a 1-0 lead. After the lead, the South Korean team also began to slow down and stabilize the situation. In addition, the rain on the scene was getting heavier, and Lebanon did not get a good chance. In the end, South Korea defeated Lebanon 1-0.
The victory of this game is very important for the Korean team. Although the ranking and strength of the two sides are very different, the South Korean team still played very hard. First, Sun Xingmin’s absence has a significant impact on the offensive end of the South Korean team; second, except for the Iranian team, the other opponents in Group A will basically be determined to play a defensive counterattack against the South Korean team; third, South Korea The team is surrounded by five teams in West Asia, and the difficulties are great.
