The football events of the National Games are all over. The Hubei women's football team, led by Wuhan Chegu Jiangda, was defeated by Jiangsu in the final and won the silver medal, breaking the team's National Games record. However, the team had no time to celebrate. After hurriedly returning to Han yesterday, it trained non-stop to prepare for tonight's second women's football AFC Champions League group match.

A total of 12 teams have entered the main draw of this competition, divided into 3 groups. The top two teams in each group and the two best third-place teams advance to the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals will be held in March next year. The Wuhan Women's Football Team in Group B is in the same group as Iran's Bamtoon, India's East Bengal, and Uzbekistan's Nasaf. The three opponents are not strong. The only disadvantage of the Wuhan Women's Football Team is physical fitness. After all, they have just played 6 games in 11 days. This game is less than 45 hours away from the National Games final.

In the first match against Nassaf, they clearly had the upper hand. In order to prevent physical disadvantage, the Wuhan Women's Football Team adopted rotation. In this game, Wu Haiyan, Wang Shuang, Yao Wei and others stopped playing, and Owusu and Jin Huili started as foreign players.

Only 2 minutes into the first half, Wuhan took a corner kick. Owusu's shot hit the opponent's hand. After FVS intervened, Wuhan got a penalty kick. Ma Jun's penalty shot was saved, which unexpectedly allowed the defender to take a penalty kick. In the 19th minute, Wuhan took a free kick into the penalty area. Tang Han failed to grab the ball, and the opponent accidentally scored an own goal in the panic [1-0]; in the 37th minute, the opponent's shot also hit Wuhan's hand. After the referee's call, FVS intervened to indicate that the arm was in its natural position and the penalty was cancelled. In the 41st minute, Owusu passed the goalkeeper and kicked an empty goal but missed the goal. In the 45th minute, the opponent equalized the score [1-1].

In the 64th minute of the second half, Wuhan passed a cross from the wing, and Ma Jun hit the crossbar with a volley; in the 71st minute, Ding Xuan opened the goal and sent the opponent a single goal, but fortunately he made a quick save. In the 79th minute, Wuhan once again had a handball in the penalty area. After FVS intervened, there was no penalty kick. After the game, Wuhan 1-1 Nassaf, the opponent has a greater advantage on the scene. In the other match in this group, Bamkaton lost 1-3 to East Bengal. According to the schedule, the team will face East Bengal on the 20th and Bam Katoon on the 23rd.

At present, two rounds of Group A games have ended. Melbourne City and Ho Chi Minh City advance to the quarterfinals with 6 points and 6 points. Lion City Mariners and Neihu Stallions have both lost two consecutive games. Group C is the group of death, with Tokyo of Japan with 7 points, Hometown of North Korea with 6 points, and Suwon of South Korea with 4 points. Since the third place in Group A has a maximum of 3 points, the three teams in this group advanced to the quarterfinals together. Myanmar's Ipes was eliminated due to three consecutive losses.

According to the rules, although the third round of Group A has not yet started, and the matches of Group B have not started, it is already certain that 4 points will advance to the quarterfinals, and 3 points plus enough goal difference can also advance. Although Wuhan is exhausted, the next goal is still to win consecutive games.

As of tonight, the teams that have advanced to the quarterfinals of the second women's AFC Champions League include Melbourne City (Australia), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), NTV Tokyo (Japan), Hometown (North Korea), and Suwon (South Korea).
