Huge upset! The U22 Chinese national team shut out South Korea 2-0, sparking fury in the Korean media: "This is an unprecedented humiliation."

On November 15th Beijing time, the second round of the Panda Cup kicked off with high intensity. A key match just concluded, where the U22 Chinese team hosted South Korea. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, China exploded in performance, with Baihelamu scoring twice to secure a 2-0 shutout over South Korea, delivering a massive upset that was truly unexpected and astonishing. After the match, Korean media erupted in anger, calling it an unprecedented disgrace!

This edition of the Panda Cup is held in Chengdu, featuring four teams: China, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and Vietnam. China suffered a shocking 0-1 defeat against Vietnam in the first round, a surprising setback that disappointed domestic fans. In the second round, China faced a stronger South Korean side. Defeating them would be no easy feat, but hopes for a miracle remain high!

Once the match started, both teams attacked and defended evenly in the first half but failed to convert chances. In the second half, both sides made substitutions. China then burst into life, displaying sharp teamwork and continuously creating threats against South Korea’s goal. Goals soon followed as Baihelamu scored twice within 9 minutes. Ultimately, China secured a clean 2-0 victory, causing a huge upset — truly a delightful surprise!

Currently, the Panda Cup standings show a chaotic scenario: all four teams have one win and one loss, forming a circular pattern. South Korea beat Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan defeated Vietnam, and China overcame South Korea. It's like a complete mess, even more confusing than a northwest region’s chaos. Remarkably, China tops the table due to goal difference — a true miracle!

After losing to China, Korean media bluntly called this an unprecedented humiliation. Actually, this isn’t the first time China has beaten South Korea. It seems Korean football has lost face and is hitting new lows. There is a talent gap emerging; without new players stepping up, Korea might face many more defeats ahead. The future looks bleak for Korean football — we shall wait and see!
