The Chinese women's football team lost to South Korea 0:1 and finished fourth in the Asian Games

China News Service, October 2 (Reporter Guo Xuan) In the women's football bronze medal match of the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games held in Shizuoka, Japan on October 2, local time, the Chinese women's football team lost 0:1 to the South Korean team and ultimately ranked fourth.

The most recent match between the two teams in the history of the Asian Games was at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. The Chinese women's football team lost 0:2 to the South Korean team in the bronze medal match and ultimately ranked fourth, setting the worst performance of the Chinese women's football team in the history of the Asian Games at that time.

Compared with the match against North Korea in the semi-finals, the Chinese team's starting lineup has undergone two changes: Wang Yanwen returned, and Li Qingtong, who missed the game due to injury, returned to the starting lineup.

In the 4th minute of the first half, South Korean player Noh Jung-young scored with a header, giving the South Korean team a 1:0 lead. In the 17th minute, Wang Yanwen passed a cross in front of the penalty area and Shao Ziqin hit the goal over the crossbar. The Chinese team missed a good opportunity to score.

After changing sides and fighting again, both sides created many scoring opportunities, but failed to convert them into goals. The Chinese team finally lost 0:1.

This is the third time in the history of the Asian Games that the Chinese women's football team has missed the podium after the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
