As the second half began, a Chinese player was injured and unable to hold on to the game and was replaced.

This is really not good news for the Chinese team.

Some superstitious people even think this may be considered an ominous sign.

Superstition is naturally unreliable, but it is not completely unreasonable. After all, forced substitutions on the defense line may indeed bring a series of adverse effects.

The four people who were originally trained together on the premise of a complete defense line, but some people were suddenly injured and replaced during the game. The person who replaced the temporary ones and the remaining three defenders would probably be caught off guard.

The person who temporarily replaces it will have to re-run with the other three people. Before it is well done, this may become an offensive opportunity for the opponent.

Not to mention that before this Asian Cup, Perrin chose Ren Xing as the central defender and gave up Feng Xiaoting, which caused some controversy. Many people are not optimistic about Ren Xing's performance in this position.

Because Ren Xing is too rash, he is prone to losing his position by taking cards.

In the group stage, Ren Xing was suspended in the third game because he received a yellow card. Fortunately, the Chinese team had already secured the first place in the group at that time, so the result of the third game was not that important. Otherwise, if the Chinese team wanted to fight North Korea to compete for the right to qualify in the third game, Ren Xing's absence may put Chinese team in the defense line.

In this game, Perrin asked Ren Xing to play as a full-back, and probably was a little worried about him and planned to put him on the wing. In this way, even if Ren Xing makes a mistake, he will not directly threaten the Chinese team's goal.

Unexpectedly, Mei Yuan's injury in the second half made Ren Xing return to the central defender position again.

This made some people who were dissatisfied with Ren Xing’s central defender even more worried.

※※※

The South Korean team also seemed to think that Mei Yuan's injury was an opportunity for them. So after the game restarted, the South Korean team strengthened its offensive against Ren Xing, hoping to open the Chinese team's defense line through Ren Xing and directly threaten the Chinese team's goal.

Their offensive finally paid off in the fifty-fifth minute.

In the 55th minute, the South Korean team launched an attack. Ren Xing fouled Lee Genho when he was robbed. The referee awarded the South Korean team a free kick on the frontcourt on the right side.

This free kick is very erratic and it is difficult to directly threaten the Chinese team's goal. Instead, you can pass the football to the goal like a corner kick and then compete for the top.

Ren Xing is still defending himself in routine, saying that he just played the ball, but the referee did not believe him and insisted that the foul was not changed.

The Korean team quickly completed the preparation for taking the free kick.

There were their people in the front, middle and back of the penalty area, and central defenders Kim Young-kwon and Kwok Tae-hui rushed to the Chinese team's goal.

"The Korean team won a free kick. The Chinese team should be careful in defense and not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of..." commentator He Ping said. In the end, his voice was a little low, as if he was afraid of being told by him, so he simply stopped talking.

After the Chinese team also prepared for defensive preparations in the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle to kick off the ball.

South Korean team captain Ji Chengyong kicked the football in front of the Chinese team.

Son Heung-min, who was originally in the middle, suddenly rushed forward and rushed to the front point, then jumped up to head the ball!

The captain of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi, jumped up to head the ball to clear the ball.

He has already stood at the position, and the ball is basically his.

But just as he almost hit the football, Son Heung-min rushed over from the air and rushed with him.

Son Heung-min shook his head and pushed the football forward, but Zheng Zhi had already pushed the football forward in advance, so his head was pressed on Zheng Zhi's temple.

Zheng Zhi, who was hit in the temple, covered his face and fell to the ground, while the football flew out of the penalty area.

After falling to the ground, Zheng Zhi did not get up as soon as possible. He just curled up on the ground with his face covering his face, looking very painful.

Chinese goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei witnessed the whole process. He immediately raised his arm and signaled to the referee.

But the referee's whistle did not sound, and his gaze seemed to shift away from the penalty area with the football.

After Zheng Zhi pushed the football out, it just fell back to Ji Chengyong's side. He raised his foot and took the football back to the front point of the penalty area. He deliberately passed it to the place where Zheng Zhi fell to the ground and could not get up.

Sure enough, when the football passed, Zheng Zhi still did not get up from the ground.

At this time, many Chinese players also noticed this scene. They raised their arms to signal to the referee that a player was injured and that the game should be stopped. At the same time, they also hope that the Korean team can have some sports ethics and take the initiative to give up this offensive opportunity...

But perhaps it should be said that the Chinese players are too naive, and the arrows are on the string. How can the Koreans give up?

Gao Zheng, who was originally defending at the back of the penalty area, saw this scene and shouted anxiously: "Don't worry about the referee! Defense!!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Son Heung-min who stayed there after the battle to win the ball first looked down at Zheng Zhi who was still lying on the ground, and then he began to lean back against the flying football.

When the ball passed by Ji Chengyong flew to him, the height was not very high. He could stop the ball with his chest, but in this way, he was worried that he would be stuck by the Chinese defender and would not even turn around at that time, so he would talk about shooting.

So he chose to take the risk and barb it directly!

Son Heung-min, who was leaning back, raised his right leg with the force and kicked the flying football!

Wang Xiaolei, who was still raising his hand to shout at the referee, was too late to make a save when he saw the football flying over. He was only half of his save, and he didn't do it completely.

Football flew into the goal from him!

Wang Xiaolei's save may not be done because he felt that the referee would blow the ball out, or maybe he didn't react...but these reasons are no longer important.

The football flew into the goal, and the referee's whistle sounded, but it was not a whistle that blew the goal, but a valid whistle that pointed his finger at the center circle!

"The ball is in!" He Ping shouted in disappointment: "Our players made a huge mistake in this defense. When the referee did not stop the game, the game was still over. Everyone should focus on the game, rather than foul the referee! The South Korean team seized this opportunity and scored a goal to equalize the score! Maybe Son Heung-min did make a foul when he was fighting for the top, but that should be something we would talk about after we defended this attack!"

Xu Yang sighed heavily: "Our players have fallen into inexperienced again! If a player is injured, the offensive party with the ball can choose to kick the football out and stop the game, but they can also continue the attack. There is no mandatory rule for them to suspend the game, and the decision is in the hands of the referee. If the referee does not blow the whistle, the game should continue... You can accuse the Korean team of not having sportsmanship, but they did not violate the rules!"

The Korean commentator shouted excitedly in the commentary seat: "Sun Heung-min!!! He equalized the score for the South Korean team with a wonderful barb ball! This goal is a strong contender for the best goal in this Asian Cup! The barb goal caught the Chinese team's defense off guard. This is really a genius idea!! It's amazing! The Chinese team made a mistake while defending. They mistakenly thought that Son Heung-min had a foul when he was fighting for the top, but it was just a normal physical collision. The referee did not say anything, and they gave up the game in advance... Son Heung-min's goal also needs to thank the Chinese defenders for their help, haha!"

The commentator of the Korean TV station also smiled and said, "I doubt whether the Chinese team players really understand the rules of football. Do they think that if someone falls to the ground and the attacker with the ball must kick the football out of the field? We have said before that even if this Chinese team has Gao Zheng, its overall strength is still far inferior to that of the Korean team. Because of these players... I suddenly feel sad for Gao Zheng. His ability is really strong, but in China, he has such a group of teammates, no matter how strong his ability is, it is meaningless..."
