amid the anticipation of countless fans, the 18th round of the asian qualifiers for the world cup officially kicked off. on the first match day, the chinese men's football team suffered a crushing defeat. they lost 0-7 to the japanese team away from home, setting their own record for the biggest score loss in the world cup qualifiers. the reputation of chinese football also fell to the bottom again because of this humiliating defeat. but on another field, a team with a similar world ranking to the chinese national football team created a miracle!

this team is bahrain from west asia. if you watched the asian cup at the beginning of the year, you will not be unfamiliar with this team. although they were assigned to the "death group" with south korea, jordan and malaysia, bahrain won the first place in the group and advanced to the knockout stage, which attracted the attention of the whole asia. their opponent in the first round is australia, a frequent visitor to the world cup in the past!

in the latest fifa rankings, australia ranks 24th, 4th in asia, and can be said to be an absolute top-notch team in asia. bahrain ranks only 80th, 12th in asia, and is almost the same as the chinese men's football team. from the ranking alone, we can see the huge gap between the two teams. however, this seemingly disparate duel turned out to be a big upset, as the home team australia lost!

as the bahrain team was far inferior to its opponent in strength, it immediately deployed a defensive counterattack to deal with its opponent. facing the bahrain team's full-strength defense, the australian team really couldn't find a good way to score, and the game was deadlocked for a long time. the australians had the advantage of ball possession, but they were unable to create opportunities. in the 77th minute, australian striker yan ji was directly shown a red card by the referee for a dangerous move, and the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt towards the bahrain team.

in the 89th minute, the bahrain team, which had a numerical advantage, launched a sharp counterattack. after karasi broke through the wing and tried to pass the ball horizontally, the ball accidentally hit the australian center back soutar and then changed direction and flew into the goal! 1-0! bahrain was lucky to break the deadlock and took the lead! with little time left in the game, the australian team failed to recover from the defeat. in the end, the away team of bahrain defeated the australian team 1-0, creating the biggest upset since the start of the round of 18!

bahrain is the direct competitor of the chinese men's football team. now their opponent defeated australia unexpectedly, making the situation of the chinese national football team even more difficult. we want to return to the world cup, but now it seems that it is still an unattainable dream!
