At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

The two teams switched offense and defense very quickly. In the 10th minute of the game, the Chinese team got another chance. The old captain Zheng Zhi dribbled the ball in front of New Zealand's penalty area. The central defender Reid, who was playing for West Ham United at the time, had no choice but to bring Zheng Zhi down. The referee may have seen that the game had just started and did not show the topaz card. China got a threatening free kick opportunity.

Zheng Zhi and Wang Chu both stood at the free kick spot.

"We see that Zheng Zhi seems to want to take the free kick. Wang Chu from Notts County is also nearby. He just returned to China after finishing his club game and immediately took the lead. Zheng Zhi runs up and shoots. No, not Zheng Zhi, but Wang Chu! The ball goes in. In the 10th minute of the game, Wang Chu scores directly from a free kick. Beautiful!"

"It's different to study abroad. Coming back from England is really a dimensionality reduction blow. Although Wang Chu's performance in the English Championship is not particularly good, with the current momentum of Notts County, it is clear that there will be a team with black and white stripes in the Premier League next season. Wang Chu has also grown greatly in the team and is now a pillar of the midfield in China."

"Always, China scored a lightning goal and led New Zealand 1:0. Now it is New Zealand that is anxious."

After falling behind just at the beginning of the game, New Zealand began to press hard to equalize the score. The two teams started a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield. It was obvious that this game was no longer a simple friendly match. In the 16th minute of the game

"Chris Wood, long shot. Wang Dalei confiscated the ball, and the shot was very accurate. It obviously failed to test Wang Dalei."

"This Chris Wood is quite tall. We are also old rivals with Wang Chu. A player from Notts County’s local rival Nottingham Forest has scored 7 goals in the league this season and performed quite well. We must focus on this high point."

"Yes."

The two commentators each briefly introduced the New Zealand players. In the 23rd minute of the game

"Gao Lin's header, Wang Chu's relay, are you ready to hit the goal? Reed defended Wang Chu head-on, this is in the Premier League. The heel moves back, beautiful, Gao Lin shoots. Wow, Paston is very focused. Apparently that missed ball made Paston even more focused."

"Haha, this is a very good match. Wang Chu's presence really makes the team very active in the midfield."

Then Paston made a long pass directly to Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng made a long pass behind New Zealand.

"Offside? Gao Lin, no offside. Hit the door! Wow, what a pity, Paston played really well in this game. The same goes for Gao Lin, who is a very big threat on the wing. New Zealand was a bit passive in this game."

This is the fifth shot of the Chinese team in the first half. The Chinese team is united and wants to win at the Shanghai Hongkou Stadium. In the 31st minute of the game, New Zealand started to exert its strength.

A free kick from the front point, this time the Chinese team The defensive players made misjudgments and missed the ball.

Fortunately, Payne, who was in the back, failed to seize the opportunity. His shot missed and the Chinese team escaped.

"The Chinese team still needs to concentrate, such mistakes should not occur. We saw Wang Dalei also roaring, reminding his teammates to focus."

One minute later, China once again broke New Zealand's goal.

Payne's kick allowed the Chinese team to advance with the ball and launch a counterattack. Yu Hanchao's shot in the penalty area went out of the baseline. This was a corner kick.
