Chinese soccer team won the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. after three consecutive losses. The team conceded a goal at the last minute in an away match in Bahrain, but the goal was canceled after VAR, and the team scored a dramatic goal in just one minute to secure a valuable victory. Chinese media and fans rejoiced over the victory, calling it a "one-minute miracle" and continuing their hopes of making the bid for the World Cup finals.
At the fifth Group C match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA U.S.-China World Cup held at Bahrain National Stadium in Lipa, Bahrain, China won the match 1-0 thanks to Zhang Winning's winning goal in the second half of the extra time. Having lost three consecutive games since the start of the preliminary round, China beat Indonesia for the first time last month, and secured Bahrain for the first time, jumping to fourth place by accumulating six points with two wins and three losses. China also scored the same points as Australia and Saudi Arabia, which ranked second and third, and raised its hopes of advancing to the World Cup finals.
In the beginning of the game, the away team China took the lead. China had a chance to shoot a free shot in the 10th minute of the first half when Zhang Winning took advantage of the momentary disruption of the Bahraini defense's concentration in the box, but was caught by the goalkeeper due to weak shooting. Bahrain shot once five minutes later, but the two teams ended the first half without having a clear opportunity to attack amid a somewhat flagging trend.
China diligently knocked on Bahrain's goal starting with Wei Xiao's shot in the 6th minute of the second half. The situation of the corner kick in the 7th minute of the second half was disappointing. Zhang Winning tried to score with an accurate header, but was blocked by the Bahrain goalkeeper's super save.
Bahrain calmly blocked China's attack and took the lead after the middle of the second half. In the 31st minute of the second half, Alcatal Ebrahim tried to score a goal with a strong header from Marhun Mohammed's cross from the right side, but he headed straight to the goalkeeper. 온라인바카라
Bahrain broke down China's defense in the 42nd minute of the second half. Ali Harim scored a right-footed volley after trapping Abdulwahab's cross into the box, shaking China's net. However, Bahrain declared offside after VAR, and the score was cancelled. China, which has survived from the brink, has a decisive opportunity. In the second half extra time, Bahrain's defense was broken down and Zhang scored a goal without missing a goal.
China managed to endure the remaining extra time without losing a point. China acquired three golden points along with Shin Seung in an away match in Bahrain, and instantly rose from sixth place to fourth place in Group C. Zhang Winning saved China by scoring the finishing goal in two consecutive matches following the finishing goal of the header against the match against Indonesia.
The Chinese portal NetEase said after the match, "Hell turned into heaven. With a miracle of 42 seconds, China won a dramatic victory."
