Asian Cup: Chinese women s football team advances to the semi-finals 6-0 Indonesia, competes for a seat in the World Cup

The 2025 AFC Five-average Women's Football Asian Cup started today. The Chinese women's football team, which won all three games in the group stage (first in Group A), ushered in the Indonesian team, ranked third in Group C, with one win, one draw and one loss. The top three teams in this tournament will win a place in the Women's World Cup in the second half of the year.

1. China vs Indonesia

The start of the Chinese team in this game was exactly the same as the group stage, with goalkeeper Liu Danping, and the rest were fighting against Huimin, Su Jiahong, Zou Yinglan and Cao Jiayi.

In the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, China chose to counterattack to create a threat. Indonesia directly attacked and fought for the start. There were not many opportunities on both sides, and basically relied on long shots to end the offensive round. Afterwards, the Chinese team became familiar with the opponent's tactics and gradually gained the advantage. In the next 10 minutes, China's continuous siege allowed Indonesia to win two yellow cards in a row. In the 13th minute, after Zhan Zewen broke through one-on-one, he scored a goal from the far corner from a small angle, and China 1-0 Indonesia. Indonesia then stepped up its pressing, but the score was not rewritten.

In the second quarter, China's offensive was stormy and adopted a high-level oppression tactic. In the second minute, Zou Yinglan's long-range shot was pounced, Fan Yuqiu scored a goal after the empty goal, and China 2-0 Indonesia. Afterwards, Indonesia took a gamble and adopted the "Superman 5-0" tactic. In the 5th minute, China successfully made a steal, Zhang Rui scored a long shot, and China 3-0 Indonesia. In the 10th minute, Jiang Xiaoyu scored two consecutive goals, China 4-0 Indonesia, and then China's substitute lineup came on the court. In the 16th minute, Yu Ting scored the fifth goal. In the 18th minute, Xiong Jing's shot caused the opponent's goalkeeper to miss the ball, and China 6-0 Indonesia.

China's personal abilities are far superior to Indonesia, and they can basically succeed one-on-one. If you improve your shooting skills, you may be able to score more than 10 goals. After the game, China 6-0 Indonesia advanced to the semi-finals and will continue to strive for better results and strive to qualify for the five-a-side Women's World Cup.

2. China's group stage record

The Chinese women's football team is the only team among the 12 teams to win three consecutive victories. They relied on 3-1 to win Australia in the first game (the battle against Huimin broke the deadlock, Su Jiahong expanded the score, and Zou Yinglan secured the victory), defeated Taipei China 5-3 in the second game (Zhang Rui scored the first goal, Cao Jiayi expanded the score, the opponent gave an own gift, Liu Danping scored, and Zou Yinglan added icing on the cake), and defeated Uzbekistan 3-1 in the last game (Ke Yaoxiang's first record, Zhan Zewen overtook the score, and Ke Yaoxiang scored twice).

After China defeated Indonesia in the quarterfinals, it won all four Asian Cups. In the 14-man roster, a total of 17 goals were scored, from 12 people, and it was a multi-point bloom. Among them, Zhang Rui, Zou Yinglan, Zhan Zewen, and Ke Yaoxiang were 2 goals, Xiong Jing, Zhan Huimin, Su Jiahong, Jiang Xiaoyu, Cao Jiayi, Fan Yuqiu, Yu Ting, and Liu Danping (goalkeeper) each had 1 goal, and another opponent's own goal. The only players who have not scored goals yet are Tang Yalan and Ma Shuting (goalkeepers). We look forward to their goals in the subsequent games.

3. Successive schedule

In the other two quarter-finals ending in the afternoon, Vietnam (first in Group B) 0-2 Japan (second in Group C), Thailand (first in Group C) and Hong Kong (third in Group B); and in the last quarter-finals, Taipei (second in Group A) will face Iran (second in Group B) at 8 pm.
