This afternoon, the U-16 Men's Football Four-Country Invitational held its first third round in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Vietnam, which had previously drawn and lost one, faced Saudi Arabia, which had lost two consecutive games. Vietnam was defeated by Australia 1-2 in the first game, and the second-chasing and two-chasing tied China 2-2 in the second game, while Saudi Arabia was defeated by China 1-2 in the first game, and lost to Australia 1-2 in the second game with the same score.

The two teams will compete for third place in this game. In the 24th minute of the first half, Saudi Arabia scored the first goal, but five minutes later, Vietnam quickly equalized the score, and Vietnam 1-1 Saudi Arabia in the first half. In the second half, the two teams attacked with all their might and launched a battle against each other. In the 83rd minute, Vietnam scored a goal and overtaked the score. After the match, Vietnam won its first victory in the event 2-1, Saudi Arabia suffered three consecutive losses and was directly at the bottom. All three games were lost by a score of 1-2. In the evening, the Chinese U-16 men's football team, which had one win and one draw, will face Australia, which won two consecutive victories. China won the first place, and the draw was the second place, and the loss may slip into the third place.

The first two games of the Chinese U-16 men's football team were eye-catching: the opening of 10,000 events, He Sifan scored a goal, Zhang Bolin headed the ball on the crossbar, Xie Jin assisted Shuai Weihao to complete the final kill in stoppage time, defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1 in the first game, and the Chinese U-16 men's football team showed tenacity in the first game; Liang Shiyu scored a goal, and 10,000 attempts to expand the score, Zhang Junhao left the game, and China played less and had no choice but to draw Vietnam 2-2.

Of course, they also have many things that are puzzled. For example, after leading in two consecutive games of lightning, the three lines will be inconsistent, and their mentality will become impatient after being equalized, and their physical fitness allocation will not be reasonable. They all play well in the first 15 minutes of the first half and 15 minutes after the second half, but in the middle 60 minutes, they are in a state that is unstable. In the fight against Saudi Arabia, in addition to the flashes at the beginning and end, many times they either have big feet or back-field footing in the middle, and counterattacks and positional battles can only rely on long passes; afterwards, they fought against Vietnam, and changed to ground transmission, but they were anxious in the middle stage, and their skills were not up to standard, and they were obviously disconnected from the front and back courts, and they were no longer advantageous in the tie-up, which led to Vietnam's counterattack after multiple steals.

This Xingtai Cup is mainly to prepare for the U-17 Asian Cup qualifiers in the second half of the year. China, Vietnam and Australia will all participate. Saudi Arabia, the second place in the last U-17 Asian Cup, has advanced to the main competition ahead of schedule and does not need to participate in the qualifiers. Since the U-17 Asian Cup has been changed to one session per year, the AFC announced in April this year that the top eight teams in the previous U-17 Asian Cup will directly advance to the next U-17 Asian Cup.
