Asian World Cup qualifiers report! 5 teams advanced to 5 teams and were eliminated; Chinese men s football team defeated Bahrain at 1-0 points in 92 minutes

At 19:00 on June 10, in the last round of the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, the Chinese men's football team played against Bahrain at home. This game was a complete honor battle for the two teams, because after the first 9 rounds, China and Bahrain have been confirmed to be eliminated and missed the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. After the first nine rounds of the matches, the Chinese men's football team scored 2 wins and 7 losses (0-7 Japan; 1-2 Saudi Arabia; 1-3 Australia; 2-1 Indonesia; 1-0 Bahrain; 1-3 Japan; 0-1 Saudi Arabia; 0-2 Australia; 0-1 Indonesia) and scored 6 points, with a goal difference of -14, ranking at the bottom of the group.

Bahn also scored 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses in the first nine rounds (1-0 Australia; 0-5 Japan; 2-2 Indonesia; 0-0 Saudi Arabia; 0-1 China; 2-2 Australia; 0-2 Japan; 0-1 Indonesia; 0-2 Saudi Arabia) also scored 6 points, but the goal difference was -10, surpassing the Chinese men's football team to rank second to the bottom in the group.

Since Indonesia, which ranked fourth in the group after 9 rounds, had 12 points (3 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses; 1-1 Saudi Arabia; 0-0 Australia; 2-2 Bahrain; 1-2 Indonesia; 0-4 Japan; 2-0 Saudi Arabia; 1-5 Australia; 1-0 Bahrain; 1-0 China). With the last round left, China and Bahrain, which ranked last two, could not surpass Indonesia, and bid farewell to the 2026 World Cup in advance.

In fact, before the last round of the game, the situation of qualifying in the three groups in the top 18 in the Asian region was quite clear! In the group where the Chinese men's football team is located, the Japanese team locked in the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico three rounds ahead of schedule. The Japanese men's football team has also become the world's first team to advance to the 2026 World Cup in addition to hosts the United States, Canada and Mexico!

And in the 8th and 9th rounds, the Japanese men's football team was obviously relaxed, and was tied 0-0 by Saudi Arabia at home in the 8th round; lost 0-1 to Australia in the away game. After 9 rounds, the Japanese team won 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (7-0 China; 5-0 Bahrain; 2-0 Saudi Arabia; 1-1 Australia; 4-0 Indonesia; 3-1 Japan; 2-0 Bahrain; 0-0 Saudi Arabia; 0-1 Australia) and 20 points were obtained.

The last round of Japan's home match against Indonesia has ended, and the Japanese men's football team beat Indonesia 6-0 at home, successfully putting an end to the Asian World Cup qualifiers.

Australia team finished 9 rounds and achieved 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss (0-1 Bahrain; 0-0 Indonesia; 3-1 China; 1-1 Japan; 0-0 Saudi Arabia; 2-2 Bahrain; 5-1 Indonesia; 2-0 China; 1-0 Japan) and 3 points were ahead of Saudi Arabia, which ranked third. What is important is that Australia's goal difference is 8 more than Saudi Arabia.

Australia played away against Saudi Arabia in the last round. Although Saudi Arabia theoretically has the possibility of overtaking Australia and rising to second place in the group, it is indeed too difficult to defeat Australia with more than 8 goals at home in the last round and is basically impossible to achieve. Therefore, after Australia defeated the Japanese team 1-0 at home in the 9th round, it has locked a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. In the other two groups, Iran and Uzbekistan rank in the top two in Group A respectively; South Korea and Jordan rank in the top two in Group B respectively. The above four teams have locked in the 2026 World Cup quota one round ahead of schedule. Among them, Uzbekistan and Jordan are both the first stage to enter the World Cup finals in history.

I have to say that this is the increase in the number of 48 teams in the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026. The Asian region has increased from 4.5 places to 8.5 places, giving Uzbekistan and Jordan a chance, but the Chinese men's football team still has not grasped it...

According to the rules, the top two in the three groups in the top 18 in the Asian region directly received tickets to the 2026 World Cup. A total of 6 teams in each group will enter the next stage of the game and will be held in October 2025.

6 teams are divided into two groups, each group plays a single round-robin match in a neutral field. The first place in the two groups can also be shortlisted for the 2026 World Cup. The second place in the two groups will play the home and away playoffs. The winner will be qualified to participate in the Intercontinental Playoffs and participate in the Intercontinental Playoffs in Asia. It is still quite difficult to enter the World Cup.

From the current perspective, the six quotas that have advanced in Asia have basically been finalized. In addition to five teams, including Japan, Iran, Uzbekistan, South Korea and Jordan, there is a possibility that Australian theory will fall from the second place in the group, but the probability is slim, and the direct quota has been basically locked!

The six teams entering the next stage have been identified, namely the UAE and Qatar in Group A; Iraq in Group B; Saudi Arabia and Indonesia in Group C. The last team entering the next stage will be produced from Oman and Palestine, and Palestine will play against Oman in the last round.

Since Oman has 10 points after the first nine rounds of matches and Palestine has 9 points, in the last round, as long as Oman draws Palestine away, he can enter the next stage of the game. If Palestine wants to continue to retain the hope of advancing to the 2026 World Cup, it will only be possible to defeat Oman at home in the last round..

Look back and looked at the last round of honorary battle between the Chinese men's football team and Bahrain. In the 88th minute of regular time, the Chinese men's football team won a penalty kick. After confirmation by the referee, in the 92nd minute, the Chinese men's football team Wang Yudong took the penalty kick and hit it! In the end, the Chinese men's football team defeated Bahrain 1-0 at home. Although the Chinese men's football team was eliminated, we have reason to believe that in 2030, the Chinese men's football team will be full of opportunities!

Currently, there are 5 teams that have been eliminated in the top 18 in Asia, namely China, Bahrain, Kyrgyzstan, North Korea and Kuwait. I hope that the Chinese men's football team can be seen in the 2030 World Cup!
