Semi-finish standings in the round of 18: Japan leads by 7 points! The national football team and other 3 teams have 6 points, and Indonesia is at the bottom with 0 wins

In the final match of the 5th round of Group C of the round of 18 that ended on the evening of November 15, Beijing time, the Japanese men's football team, the first in Asia, defeated the Indonesian team 4-0 away. After the big win in this campaign, the Japanese team was unbeaten in 5 rounds (4 wins and 1 draw) and continued to lead strongly. Indonesia, on the other hand, has struggled to find a win since the start of the tournament and is at the bottom of the rankings.

After 5 rounds, the standings of Group C are also very interesting. The Japanese team is "outstanding" in this group, with 13 points from 5 rounds, 4 wins and 1 draw, and the lead is as many as 7 points. Behind Japan, the other 5 teams are in chaos.

Australia, Saudi Arabia and China men's football teams all have 6 points, Australia is temporarily ranked 2nd by virtue of goal difference, Saudi Arabia is 3rd, and the national football team is 4th; The Bahrain men's football team is in 5th place with 5 points after 4 rounds of winless, and Indonesia is temporarily at the bottom with 3 points. It is worth noting that the Chinese men's football team is second only to Japan in terms of wins and goals scored in this group, but it also concedes the most goals. All in all, Japan almost secured one direct place in the group ahead of schedule, while the other five teams kept their hopes of finishing second in the group.

In the next round of the game, the Chinese men's football team will sit at home against Japan, and Indonesia will continue to sit at home against Saudi Arabia; Bahrain will also continue to face Australia at home. Although the situation has improved after the national football team has won two consecutive games, it may be difficult to stop Japan's winning streak at home.
