After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and Singapore launched a suicidal attack on the Chinese team.
With a 0-4 deficit, it was impossible to defeat the Chinese team.
Even with Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team will continue to score goals in the second half, expanding the score and turning this game into a massacre of Singapore by the Chinese team.
There is nothing Singapore can do about their lack of strength, but they still want to score a goal to save some face and prove that they can break through the Chinese team's defense away from home.
However, the Chinese team, which focused on defensive counterattacks, did not give them this opportunity.
After seeing Singapore go crazy and reckless, Gao Hongbo instructed his players on the sidelines to tighten their defense, not give Singapore any chance to score, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Singaporean players naturally cannot reach the level of Lu Wenbin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who can single-handedly challenge a group of opponents and break into the penalty area.
Therefore, they were unable to break into the Chinese team's restricted area.
In the 51st minute, the impatient Singaporean striker Jumat took a long shot from the penalty area line, but midfielder Zheng Zhi anticipated it and suddenly fell to the ground and blocked Jumat's shot with his foot.
The ball hit Zheng Zhi's calf, bounced back from Jumat, and landed at the feet of Chinese forward Qu Bo behind him.
When Qu Bo got the ball, a Singaporean player rushed over, so Qu Bo did not stop the ball to waste time. After a slight adjustment, he kicked the ball into the empty space in the center circle and passed it to Lu Wenbin, giving him a certain amount of lead time.
The moment Zheng Zhi made a tackle, Lu Wenbin switched from defense to offense and rushed towards Singapore's half. When he reached the center circle, he received a pass from Qu Bo. Without even stopping, he passed Singapore's last central defender Shaif and got a one-on-one chance.
The Chinese team's counterattack was really too fast.
A second ago, it was Singapore's attack and everyone was standing and watching whether Jumat's shot would score.
As a result, the next second, the ball shot by Jumate was blocked by Zheng Zhi, bounced behind Jumate, and was caught by Qu Bo.
Qu Bo did not waste any time and passed the ball directly to the empty space in the center circle, where it was successfully caught by Lu Wenbin who was counterattacking at full speed.
Singapore didn't even have time to organize its defense before the last defender was passed by Lu Wenbin with a simple man-ball pass.
Lu Wenbin's speed and breakthrough skills are simply beyond the ability of Singaporean players to stop him.
Then, everyone saw Lu Wenbin running wildly with the ball in Singapore's half, with three or four Singaporean players desperately chasing him, but there was no sign of closing the distance.
Even if they ran in vain, they could not outrun Lu Wenbin who was running with the ball.
There was no choice but for Singapore's goalkeeper Iswan to attack and leave the goal.
However, facing a god-level shooter like Lu Wenbin, no matter what Ishwan did, it was in vain.
As soon as Ishwan ran to the restricted area, Lu Wenbin on the opposite side took a direct shot.
Lu Wenbin volleyed the ball with great force and it flew accurately towards the far goal.
Ishwane tried to pounce, but the ball was too fast. Before his palm could reach it, the ball had already flown past.
As Ishwan turned his head away with a look of despair, the ball hit the post and flew into the far goal.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat trick and the Chinese team led 5-0.
It was so exciting that countless fans at the scene and across the country burst into cheers of joy.
The current Chinese team can be said to be two teams.
When Lu Wenbin is not around, the Chinese team plays friendly matches and warm-up matches the same as before, which makes the fans worried.
Fortunately, it was not a formal competition, so everyone was rational and did not start swearing. They just made jokes.
Once the official competition begins and Lu Wenbin returns to the national team, it will be time for fans to enjoy football.
Lu Wenbin can not only score goals himself, but he can also organize and assist his teammates to score goals.
The strength of the entire Chinese team suddenly went beyond the scope of Asia.
This is a great happiness for fans who have suffered a lot from Chinese football.
Today's game proved Lu Wenbin's driving role for the entire team.
In addition to Lu Wenbin's hat trick, in the 64th minute, Lu Wenbin assisted Hao Junmin to score a goal, completing his second assist and giving the Chinese team a 6-0 lead.
Afterwards, Lu Wenbin was replaced by Gao Hongbo, and Zheng Zhi played as attacking midfielder in advance.
In the 87th minute, Zheng Zhi made a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball passed over the goalkeeper's palm and flew into the far corner of the goal, locking the score at 7-0.
This is the final score of the game.
In the first round of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, the Chinese team defeated Singapore 7-0, not only getting 3 points, but also gaining a full 7 goals, making a big start.
Lu Wenbin himself not only gained the same experience as in the Champions League, but his total number of goals for the year has reached 87, which is very close to the 90-goal mark.
The number of goals scored every year exceeds 90 goals. Lu Wenbin is the only one who can do this in the history of football.
You know, the previous world record for total goals per year held by Gerd Muller was only 85 goals.
Moreover, that record has remained unbroken for decades and no one has broken it. This shows how great it is that Lu Wenbin is now scoring more than 90 goals every year.
After the game, the fans were reluctant to leave and sang and danced in the stands, celebrating the victory with the Chinese team members.
Especially Lu Wenbin, who was called by the fans over and over again. Lu Wenbin also came to the sidelines and signed autographs and took photos with some lucky fans, making other fans who were farther away extremely envious.
In another match in Group A that was taking place at the same time, Iraq lost 0-2 to Jordan at home, which was considered a small upset.
After the first round, the Chinese team ranked first in the standings with a goal difference advantage, Jordan second, Iraq third, and Singapore last.
After the first round of matches, the Chinese team traveled to the Middle East to challenge Jordan away.
On September 6, 2011, the Chinese team played against Jordan away.
With the lesson of Singapore in mind, Jordan did not dare to attack the Chinese team even at home. It just piled up a large number of defensive players in the backcourt and played passively, with the idea of losing as little as possible being a win.
Facing the Chinese team, Jordan can accept it as long as the loss is not big.
After all, there are two qualifying spots in a group, and their competitors are Iraq, not China.
It is not worthwhile to fight hard with the Chinese team that has Lu Wenbin. Otherwise, if the fight fails and we lose more goals, we will be eliminated by Iraq, which would be unfair.
So, after 90 minutes, the score on the big screen in the stadium was only 1-4. The Chinese team only scored 4 goals, and the Jordanian team also scored a goal from a corner kick, so they were finally not shaved bald.
The reason why only 4 goals were scored was also partly because Lu Wenbin, who had two shots and one assist in the first half, was substituted during the halftime break.
In another match, Singapore unsurprisingly lost 0-2 to Iraq at home.
After two rounds, the Chinese team ranked first with 6 points and 10 goals, Iraq ranked second, Jordan ranked third, and Singapore ranked fourth.
Everything went as everyone expected when the draw took place. China, the favorite team in Group A, would definitely qualify, Iraq and Jordan would compete for the second qualifying spot, and Singapore would just be there to make up the numbers.
The top 20 group stage was not difficult at all for the Chinese team led by Lu Wenbin.
