on the evening of september 10th, beijing time, many games of the second round of the asian qualifiers for the world cup have ended. the chinese national football team was defeated 1-2 by saudi arabia, qatar was tied 0-0 by north korea, australia drew 0-0 with indonesia, jordan defeated palestine 3-1, south korea defeated oman 3-1, and uzbekistan reversed kyrgyzstan 3-2, staging a carnival night.

on this match day, the chinese national team vs. saudi arabia, indonesia vs. australia, and north korea vs. qatar all kicked off at 8 pm. among them, the chinese national team played against saudi arabia at home, with nearly 50,000 fans watching the game. it was an emotional process from ecstasy to disappointment, because the chinese national team was leading by one goal and had one more player for a long time, but was finally reversed and killed by saudi arabia.

judging from the two goals lost, the chinese national team lost corner kicks. the defensive performance was too bad, which gave saudi arabia a chance to reverse the situation and eventually lost the game. in this way, the chinese national team lost two games in a row and continued to be at the bottom with 0 points. what is even more desperate is that there is no hope if this continues. it will be difficult to even compete for the fourth place in the group. in addition, it is unknown whether ivankovic will be dismissed early.

in other matches, indonesia, which has a large number of naturalized players, also played very tenaciously at home against australia, which ranks fourth in asia. in the end, the two sides drew 0-0. indonesia scored unexpectedly against saudi arabia and australia, which formed a sharp contrast with the chinese national team and became a strong contender for the top four in the group.

in addition to indonesia, north korea, which also played at home, also created a miracle against the two-time asian cup champion qatar.

in the 19th minute, li il-sung scored a world-class goal to help north korea lead 1-0. however, in the 32nd minute, zhang guozhe sent a red dot package, and qatar tied the game 1-1 while playing with one more player for a long time. in the 44th minute, moez ali broke through and shot to help qatar overtake 2-1. facing a desperate situation, jiang guozhe scored directly from a set-piece to help north korea tie the game 2-2 with difficulty, and this score was maintained until the end of the game.

in addition, south korea won 3-1 against oman away, with son heung-min leading the team to victory single-handedly, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists. he also sent oman to two consecutive defeats at the start, with 0 points and ranking last. the qualifying situation is similar to that of the chinese national team.
