-

gudangmovies21Timnas Arab Saudi dan Timnas China saling bertanding dalam laga lanjutan Grup C putaran tiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia.

Duel kedua tim berlangsung di Stadion Universitas King Saud, Riyadh, Jumat (21/3/2025) dini hari WIB.

Sebelum pertandingan berlangsung, Arab Saudi menduduki posisi ketiga dalam tabel grup sementara Grup C dengan mengumpulkan 6 poin dari total 6 pertandingan yang telah dijalani.

Sedangkan China menghuni posisi dasar klasemen alias tim juru kunci (peringkat 6) meski juga mengoleksi 6 poin, hanya kalah produktivitas gol.

Jika sukses merebut tiga angka di tanah lawan Arab Saudi, Bahrain akan naik ke posisi keempat dalam tabel klasemen, menggeser tempat dengan Timnas Indonesia serta dirinya sendiri.

JALANNYA PERTANDINGAN

Tampil di depan pendukungnya sendiri, para pemain Arab Saudi tampak percaya diri dan langsung menggempur barisan pertahanan China sejak menit awal.

Secara penguasaan bola sepanjang babak pertama, Arab Saudi bahkan unggul jauh dengan catatan 74 persen berbanding 26 persen.

Meski mendominasi jalannya pertandingan, Arab Saudi tampak kesulitan membobol gawang China yang dijaga oleh kiper Wang Dalei.

Pada menit ke-36, Arab Saudi memperoleh kesempatan emas lewat pemain depan Feras Al Brikan.

Meskipun demikian, upaya sang pemain berumur 24 tahun tersebut tetap bisa diblokir oleh Wang Dalei dan akhirnya hanya mendapatkan tendangan sudut.

Satu menit kemudian, penonton di stadion membuat gemuruh saat Arab Saudi berhasil memasukkan bola ke gawang China.

Bermula dari situasi sepakan pojok itu, sebuah operan singkat dilakukan sebelum bola dikirimkan dan disundul oleh Faisal Al Ghamdi.

Sekuat apapun keinginan, tendangan itu akhirnya dibatalkan karena wasit mengulas kembali video assistant referee (VAR) dan mendapati bahwa sebelumnya telah terjadi pelanggaran dengan menggunakan tangan.

China yang lolos tanpa kemasukan gol malah terseret dalam kesulitan saat perpanjangan waktu babak pertama.

Striker Lin Liangming harus keluar lapangan setelah mendapat kartu merah langsung dari wasit di menit 45+1'.

Unggul jumlah pemain membuat para pemain Arab Saudi dengan leluasa menggempur pertahanan China.

Walaupun telah diberikan tambahan waktu sebanyak enam menit, kedua regu masih belum berhasil mencetak gol sampai jeda istirahat.

Mengawali periode kedua, Arab Saudi pada akhirnya berhasil memasukkan gol pertamanya di menit kelima puluh.

Salem Al Dawsari melepaskan tembakan keras yang tak mampu diantisipasi Wang Dalei usai menerima umpan dari Saud Abdulhamid.

Di menit ke-57, Arab Saudi nyaris menggandakan keunggulan ketika sepakan Nasser Al Dawsari masih menyamping ke sisi kanan gawang.

Aiman Yahya mencetak gol di menit ke-70 tapi dianulir oleh wasit karena offside terlebih dahulu.

Kedua tim terus saling mencoba melancarkan serangan, tetapi kedudukan skor tidak berubah hingga wasit meniup peluit akhir.

Arab Saudi menang atas China dengan skor tipis 1-0.

Karena hasil kemenangan tersebut, tabel klasemen grup C tetap stabil tanpa adanya perubahan.

Arab Saudi bertahan di posisi ketiga dengan 9 poin, sementara China masih menjadi tim terbawah.

Paradise Islands Offer Citizenship for Less Than £36,000

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
