The new U17 Asian Cup qualifiers entered its second match day, with a total of 8 games, Japan defeated the Philippines 23-0, India defeated the Maldives 5-0, and Indonesia swept Guam 14-0. In addition, some teams also failed. Qatar was tied 1-1 by Bahrain, and Syria was tied 1-1 by Turkmenistan, which staged a night of sadness and joy.
This is the second teenager Asian Cup qualifiers held by AFC in the past month. The U20 Asian Cup qualifiers have ended last month.
As one of the Asian giants, the Japanese men's football teams of all ages maintain strong strength. In June this year, Japan's U17 defeated Uruguay U17 and 2-0 to defeat Mexico U17 respectively. The same is true for participating in the U17 Asian Cup qualifiers this time.
First game, the Japanese team easily defeated the Philippines 3-0, and received good news from the air. Turkmenistan and Syria in the same group played a 1-1 draw, and the Japanese team fell behind the top of the group in one round in less games.
Of course, the score of the Japanese team 3-0 was not amazing enough, and the Indian team and Indonesian team defeated their opponents respectively. The Indian men's football team, which was not banned by FIFA globally, sent the U17 team to directly defeat the Maldives team 5-0 in the first game, easily completed the beating, and temporarily ranked third in the group with 3 points. If you want to qualify in the future, you must compete with Kuwait and Saudi team in the group.
In addition, Southeast Asian powerhouse Indonesia set the largest score record in this qualifier, kicking a huge score of 14-0, giving Guam team two consecutive losses and 0 points to continue to be at the bottom of the group. It is worth mentioning that in the U20 Asian Cup qualifiers ended last month, Guam suffered four consecutive losses and were eliminated with 0 points, and conceded 27 goals.
There are also unpopular matches in this round of group stage, that is, Qatar draws 1-1 with Bahrain. The Qatar men's football team ranks 48th in the world, 5th in Asia, and the Bahrain men's football team ranks 85th, not as good as the 78th in the Chinese men's football team. Now, the overall strength of Qatar U17 is above Bahrain U17, and finally missed the victory 1-1, making a big upset.
Chinese team led by Yang Chen will face Cambodia in its first game on October 5. The latter had defeated the Australian team 4-2 this year, so the former defeat of the Chinese team is not a bad guy.
