CCTV-5 and the CCTV Video app are broadcasting the Women's Asian Cup semifinal match between China and Australia.
The match has just begun, with the score tied at 0-0.
In this game, who will win and advance to the final?
On paper, Australia undoubtedly has the upper hand. Australia is not only the host country but also hasn't lost to China's women's team in the last 13 years.
Moreover, Australia had an extra day of rest. Our Chinese women's team not only had less rest but also played 120 minutes in the previous match, so we do not hold an advantage in physical fitness.
Our Chinese women's team's key player, Wang Shuang, will miss this semifinal due to accumulating two yellow cards.
Therefore, from all aspects, our Chinese women's team is in a disadvantaged position. However, I hope the Chinese women's team can reverse the situation against Australia as they did ten years ago, showcasing the resilient and never-give-up spirit of the "Steel Roses." In 2006, we also defeated Australia on their soil and ultimately won the championship.
Chinese women's team,加油! Despite facing multiple disadvantages in this match, we still hope you can defeat Australia, advance to the final, and even successfully defend the title!
