Reporter Yin Chengjun reported that on the afternoon of July 13, in the second round of the East Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team defeated the Chinese Taipei team 4:2 and ushered in the first victory of this cup. Although there was a victory, the performance of the Chinese women's football team in this game is hard to be satisfactory. This is the first time that the Chinese women's football team lost the ball against the Chinese Taipei team, and was tied by the opponent while leading 2:0, which exposed many problems with the defense line.

The whole game, the performance of the Chinese women's football team in the first and second half was completely different. In the first half, their ball possession rate reached 80%, which prevented the Chinese Taipei team from shooting at a single shot. In the 8th minute, Shao Ziqin headed the ball into the crossbar in the penalty area. Then she followed up and scored, rewriting the score to 1:0.

In the 16th minute, Zhang Xin took a corner kick from the right and was cleared. Chen Qiaozhu headed the ball to the penalty area and caused a melee. Shen Mengyu shot low and hit the far corner of the goal, and the Chinese team led 2:0.

If you continue to play at this pace, the Chinese women's football team will usher in a big victory without any suspense. However, after the second half, the Chinese Taipei team changed the weakness of the first half and strengthened the midfield competition with the Chinese team. At the same time, they used the speed advantage of the forward players to quickly break through the Chinese team's defense line. In the 54th minute, the Chinese Taipei team kicked the ball from the backcourt, Su Yuxuan started quickly, and after getting the ball, he drifted over Dou Jiaxing and shot into the near corner of the goal. The Chinese Taipei team scored a goal 1:2.

In the 68th minute, the Chinese Taipei team launched a quick counterattack again. Chen Yanwen dribbled the ball and got rid of the Chinese team's defensive players. After breaking into the penalty area, Chen Yu'an scored with a cross shot in front of the goal, and the score became 2:2.

In the last game against South Korea, the Chinese team led twice, but was still tied by the opponent in the end. In this game, they were tied by their opponents again with a 2:0 lead, and the loopholes in the defense line were shocking.

Fortunately, the strength of the Chinese team is still far superior to that of the opponent. At the last moment, coach Milicic made a substitution adjustment, and Zhang Linyan and Tang Jiali came on the court one after another, gradually reversing the situation on the court. In the 83rd minute, Wang Yanwen suddenly scored a long shot, and the Chinese women's football team led 3:2 again.补时第6分钟,张琳艳左路突破后传中,邵子钦头球破门锁定胜局。
