In the previous 4 rounds, the Chinese men's football team achieved a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranking second in Group C with 7 points, 3 points behind the first-ranked South Korean team and 3 points ahead of the opponent Thailand in this game.

Considering that the Chinese team will face the strongest "Taiji Tiger" South Korea team in the group in the next game, and the Thai team will face the weakest team in the group Singapore team in the next round, so this game is considered to be the key battle for the Chinese team to enter the round of 18.

In order to prepare for this life-and-death battle, the national football team assembled in Shenyang on May 27 to prepare for the game. In terms of world rankings, the national football team is currently ranked 88th in the world, while the Thai team is ranked 101.

In this game, Wu Lei and Li Yuanyi of the Chinese team were suspended because of the accumulation of yellow cards and red cards, Gao Zhunyi was absent due to sudden appendicitis, Zhang Yuning returned from injury and did not start the game, and the starting value of the Chinese men's football team was 4.675 million euros, even lower than the 5.25 million euros of the Thai team.

In terms of the Thai team, in addition to the naturalized right-back Mikkelsen, who was injured and unable to play, the Thai team, which was striving to advance, sent all the main forces to China to face the Chinese team.

The last time the two sides met was in the first round of the group stage on November 16 last year, when the Chinese team won 2-1 away from home and made a good start to the second stage of the competition.

In the 20th minute of the game, Thailand's Subachol scored with a header, and the score was rewritten to 1-0. Screenshot of the competition.

In the 20th minute of the game, the Thai team Subachai crossed from the side, and Subachu scored with a header to help the Thai team take the lead, and the score was rewritten to 1-0. Two minutes later, Alan Neche's shot from the box hit the post and failed to change the scoreline.

In the 30th minute, Wei Shihao took a corner kick, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced. Near the halftime whistle, the Thai team Shalachi and Supana hit the frame one after another, and the goalpost of Shenyang, the blessed land, helped the national football team to keep the possibility of tying the score, and the Chinese team entered the halftime break with a one-goal deficit.

In the second half, in the 50th minute of the game, Thai defender Krichada made a mistake in the penalty area to send a handball. Unfortunately, Fernando, who took the penalty, put an "anti-aircraft gun", and the national football team still fell behind 0-1. The "little motorcycle" who missed the penalty knelt on the ground in pain and hugged his head and pounded the ground hard, but to no avail.

In the 70th minute of the game, Fernando passed the opponent's goalkeeper and did not shoot in the empty goal, but in order to seek stability, he was willing to cross near and far, but was unexpectedly destroyed by the Thai defenders.

In the 79th minute, Zhu Chenjie struggled to assist with a header, and the young player Baihelamu made his national team debut to score a goal to save the savior. The Chinese team tied the score at 1-1.

After that, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but unfortunately neither achieved anything, and the Chinese team drew 1-1 in the second leg of the match with the Thai team.

In another game in the same group, the South Korean team faced the Singapore team away and completely beat the opponent, and finally swept the opponent 7-0, Lee Gang-in hat-trick, Son Heung-min double-ringed, Bae Jun-ho and Hwang Hee-chan made contributions respectively. South Korea, who advanced to the top of the group, will play their next game at home against China on June 11.

After this campaign, the national football team still ranks second in the group with 8 points, and the goal difference is 3 more than the Thai team, and South Korea can advance as long as they are undefeated in the final round.
