5-0! 2-2! A wild night in football: South Korea crushed by Brazil, Japan draws with Paraguay, China wins

On October 11th Beijing time, the football friendlies started intensely. Three matches ended last night in what was called a highlight showdown, producing a wild night. South Korea was soundly beaten 0-5 by South American giant Brazil. Japan managed a 2-2 draw with Paraguay, and China’s U22 team triumphed 3-1 over Thailand!

South Korea vs. Brazil. Both teams had already secured their World Cup spots, so there was no pressure, and they chose to use this friendly to test their lineups. South Korea is top-tier in Asia, while Brazil is world-class. The match turned into a one-sided affair, with South Korea completely outmatched, unable to keep up with Brazil’s pace. The gap was visibly huge, and Brazil’s superior individual skills overwhelmed South Korea, crushing them 5-0. Honestly, South Korea’s loss was very embarrassing—they were like a soft target for Brazil to manipulate at will!

Japan vs. Paraguay. Both teams had also qualified for the World Cup and used this friendly to maintain form. Paraguay boasts very strong defense, while Japan emphasizes technical play. The match was a closely contested battle. Paraguay executed clever teamwork, breaking through Japan’s defense twice to take the lead. However, Japan showed great resilience, capitalizing on Paraguay’s mistakes to create chances and ultimately secured a 2-2 draw. It seemed Japan’s technical style struggled against South American physicality, finding it hard to break through. Still, managing a draw against Paraguay shows Japan’s competitive strength!

China’s U22 national team vs. Thailand. The U22 team played Thailand in a closed-doors match. We started off a bit loose, allowing the opponent to score first. However, we soon took control of the game’s rhythm, patiently searching for scoring chances. We then scored three consecutive goals, completing a 3-1 comeback win over Thailand. Unfortunately, the match had a painful moment when our hopeful star Wang Yudong was violently fouled by the opponent, yet none of our players stood up to defend him!
