China suffered a 7-0 defeat to Japan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers, significantly damaging their chances of progressing from their group.
TOKYO, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's national team suffered a crushing 7-0 defeat to Japan on Thursday in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers third round opener.
目前辽宁的战绩是13胜7负，排名联盟第6位，辽宁场均得到107分，排名联盟第4，场均失分只有98.5分，排名联盟第3，从得失分数据上看，彩娱乐登陆网址入口官网辽宁仍是联盟顶级强队，只不过近期状态比较低迷。在大外援不给力的情况下，辽宁的篮板控制非常一般，场均只有44.3个，排名联盟第13位，助攻、抢断等数据也都是联盟中游水平。
Midfielder Wataru Endo opened the scoring with a header, and Kaoru Mitoma doubled the lead just before halftime.
China struggled to find a solution in the second half, but two consecutive goals from Takumi Minamino shattered their hopes. Junya Ito, Daizen Maeda and Takefusa Kubo also added to the scoreline.
The third round of the Asian qualifiers features 18 teams divided into three groups, with the top two teams from each group directly qualifying for the World Cup. The third- and fourth-placed teams will enter the playoffs.
China are placed in Group C alongside Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Indonesia.
This heavy defeat in the opening match casts a shadow over China's World Cup campaign.
Also on Thursday, Bahrain stunned Australia 1-0.
China will next face Saudi Arabia on September 10. ■彩娱乐注册CLY588.VIP
