Xinhua News Agency, Abu Dhabi, January 17th question: the last moment of the group’s “maze” was very “trembling”

The heart is not good, please do not watch the Asian Cup!
In the 12th round of the Asian Cup, there were 4 goals in the make-up stage in 4 days! The exit situation is changing, with all kinds of struggle, calculation, quarrel, joy and chagrin…… It forms a huge “maze” of Asian Cup “.
After the expansion from 16 detachment to 24 detachment, it became very complicated for the Asian Cup team to exit. Among the six groups, the first two are not complicated, and the complexity is complicated in the third place with the best four scores. After the second round, 8 teams in Groups C, D, E and F accumulated 0 points. Even so, none of them had been eliminated, this leaves all speculations to the end.
According to the rules of this Asian Cup, if the same group of teams have the same points, the results of each other’s matches will be calculated first; Between different groups, the results will be calculated in sequence according to points, goals, total goals, and red and yellow cards, if you can’t compete in this way, you can only draw lots. Under such complicated calculation, every goal is so precious.
On the 14th, there were two matches in Group A. The Indians who were in a good situation fell down with the first catch-up goal. In the 91th minute, Jia Rashid kicked penalty kick into the gate of India. Bahrain beat India 1:0, and the Third Battle Area 4 ranked third in the group, taking the lead in winning a quota. There are only three seats left in the third group. Before the 89th minute foul delivery penalty kick, the Indian team ranked second in the real-time ranking.
On the 15th, Group B played two more games. The Australian director scored the second catch-up goal. Rocchi’s bombing in the 93th minute not only sank the Syrian team, but also “saved” Palestine from the cliff. The third battle in Palestine accumulated 2 points and had to wait for the results of the next two days. The Asian Cup is still the third place for five groups.
On the 16th, there were 4 games in Groups C and D. There was no catch goal on this day. Kyrgyzstan scored 3 points in 3 battles, but the net goal was zero. The Net goal of the Vietnamese team with 3 points was minus one, kyrgyzstan is ahead of Vietnam and Palestine and has taken a spot. Now it is the third place for four groups to grab two places. Please note that the Vietnamese data at this time are: 3 points,-1 Net goal, 4 total goals, and 5 yellow cards in three games.
Interesting things happened. Before the game on the 17th, it was possible that even the North Korean team, which lost ten eggs in two games, could qualify, 1:0, as long as they beat their opponents while Oman and Turkmen draw, then they can eliminate Palestine, Oman and Turkmen with 3 points and join hands with Vietnam to qualify, even if their goal is-9!
The four games in groups E and F on the 17th are amazing. The first group F match gave birth to the third catch-up goal! At the beginning of the catch-up, the Oman people only led the Turkmen by 2:1. In this way, they would lag behind the Vietnamese team with the same disadvantage of winning the ball and the small number of goals. But in the make-up stage, defender musarami scored a key goal, and the Oman net goal with 3 points reached 0. They entered the top 16 in the last minute of the game! Only the last quota is left! This result also kicked Palestine out. The Palestine that accumulated 2 points was already behind Vietnam, and their two-day waiting was in vain.
Vietnam will compete with the third place in Group E for the last ticket.
The third match between North Korea and Lebanon for Group E was the final group match, but the final madness was staged! The North Koreans who took the lead in scoring in the 10th minute once forced Lebanon into a desperate situation. The Lebanese need to score at least four goals to catch up with the Vietnamese team in the net goal and the total number of goals. Please note that a subtle factor at this time is that Lebanon ate five yellow cards in the first two matches, just like the Vietnamese team.
The Lebanese began to attack crazily. What was even crazier was that they did it. In This 9-minute match, helvey scored the fourth goal for Lebanon in the 98th minute. This is the fourth catch-up goal.
But this is no longer helpful. Because in the 30th minute of this game, the Lebanese ate a yellow card. They surpassed the Vietnamese team in the number of yellow cards, which must be the last lead they needed. As for the 99th minute, it doesn’t matter that the Lebanese eat another yellow card. The Lebanese must have calculated clearly. As soon as the game was over, their players covered their faces. The hearts of Vietnamese can be put down. They don’t have to wait for the more tense draw.
This is the complicated Asian Cup group match in 2019.
However, Drawing Lots has happened even in the higher-class World Cup. In the 1990 World Cup, Holland and Ireland in Group F both scored 3 points in 3 battles and 3 points in 3 battles, and both goals were 2:2. In order to decide the ranking, only the lottery was allowed. As a result, Ireland took the second place, and Holland, which owned the three swordsmen Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard, took the third place. At that time, the World Cup was also a 24th team. The Dutch team was lucky to qualify for the third place with better results. Then, unfortunately, they met the final champion of the Federal German team. After the famous “spit war, holland was eliminated.
Football is such a fun thing.
