6686 Sports News on November 15th In the second round of the Panda Cup, South Korea U22 lost to China U22 with a score of 0-2. After the game, the Korean media Xportsnews commented on the game with the title "Big upset! Historic shame".
In the first round three days ago, the South Korean team defeated the rising new Asian football power Uzbekistan 2-0; while the Chinese team lost 0-1 to Vietnam in the first round and once again became the focus of heated discussion. But the trend in the second round of competition was completely different. The Chinese team showed that it was not inferior to the South Korean team, scoring two goals with its quick and organized attack.
The two sides drew 0-0 in the first half. In the 26th minute of the second half, the South Korean team unfortunately lost the ball due to a backcourt pass error that caused the defense to be penetrated. China's tall and tall forward Baihe Lamu hit the goal diagonally with his right foot from the right side of the three-second zone, and the ball went straight into the net. Bayholam was born in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and has represented China's adult national team nine times.
In the 36th minute of the second half, the South Korean team's defense on the right side once again failed. Bayholam once again scored twice with his right heel from the right side of the three-second zone, sealing the victory for the Chinese team. This scene is a very humiliating moment for Korean football.
After the defeat in this game, the Korean U-23 level national team (including U-22) has achieved a record of 13 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in 20 historical confrontations with the Chinese team. It is worth noting that the South Korean team has lost to China three times in a row in the past two and a half years: a 0-1 loss in a friendly match in June 2023, a 0-1 defeat in a friendly match in March 2025, and a 0-2 defeat this time. If we limit the last 5 matches, the Korean team has 2 wins and 3 losses and is at a clear disadvantage.
