Xinhua News Agency, Xi'an, June 10 (Reporter Zheng Xin, Lin Shenggai) With the "two hammers" of young player Liu Chengyu, the Chinese U19 Men's Football Team won the championship trophy in the final match of the 2024 Weinan International Football Invitational Tournament "Silk Road · Huashan Cup" of the Chinese Football Association.
With the cheers of more than 10000 spectators at Weinan Sports Center Stadium, the Chinese team played more skillfully after the start of the match than in the first two games. In the first half, both teams had chances to score, but both failed to rewrite the score.
In the 77th minute, the free kick of the Chinese team was blocked by the human wall and landed in the restricted area. Liu Chengyu, who was stuck in the position, rushed to the top of the ball and the ball rolled into the net. In the 89th minute, Liu Chengyu took advantage of the counter attack opportunity to take the long pass to enter from the left side of the road and hit the ball from a small angle when it was close to the baseline. The ball passed the South Korean goalkeeper's ten finger pass and sealed the victory for the Chinese team.
"Our goal has not changed since we won the first game (Vietnam team), and our players have maintained a high level of concentration and competitive level." After the game, Chinese team coach Jurjevic said that this victory was the first championship won by many players. I hope they will continue to grow and mature in the future, and always remind themselves - "You can do it".
With this complete victory, the Chinese team achieved an unbeaten record of two wins and one draw in this invitational tournament. After the game, the players held the "Huashan Cup" high.
In the other match on the same day, Uzbekistan beat Vietnam 2:1 to win the second place in the event with one win and two draws. South Korea and Vietnam won the third and fourth places respectively.
