in the match of group c, australia played against bahrain at home. in the first half, the two teams were tied 0-0. in the second half, australian player kusini raised his foot too high and was sent off by the referee. australia, who was one man short, was stretched defensively. in the 89th minute, bahrain had fewer players on the wing, and karasi's cross was blocked by sutar's foot, and the ball went into his own goal. with the opponent's own goal, bahrain completed the lore and won the first victory in the round of 18.
in the match of group b, south korea played against palestine at home. in the first half, south korea did not play with a clear advantage, and palestine scored a goal but it was invalid due to offside. in the second half, lee kang-in missed a chance, hamad made a series of heroic saves, son heung-min shot the goal frame, and palestine also missed a single chance in stoppage time. in the end, palestine tied south korea 0-0 away from home, which was a big upset.
from the tajikistan team reaching the quarterfinals at the asian cup at the beginning of the year, to the indonesian team reaching the semifinals at the u23 asian cup, to the palestine team and bahrain team making upsets in the world cup round of 18, the overall level of asian football continues to improve, and the only exception is the chinese men's football team.
