In the 47th minute, Kuai Jiwen created chaos in the midfield, and Hu Hetao followed up with a shot that broke through the goal line, scoring another goal.
In the 63rd minute, Zhu Chenjie made a header to cross the ball, and Zhang Yuning, who came on as a substitute, scored with a shot from close to the goal.
This is the first time in 28 years that the Chinese team has made it to the top four in the men's football competition at the Asian Games. Since the reform of the Asian Games in 2002, when U23 teams were allowed to participate, China's men's Asian Games football team has never reached the top four. In the semi-final held on September 30th, the Chinese U23 team will face the Korean U23 team.
