北京时间3月30日凌晨,中国国家足球队在爱尔兰首都都柏林同爱尔兰进行了欧洲拉练的第二场比赛,与首场同西班牙一战相比,中国队表现有所提高,并且在比赛中创造了数次入球良机,但由于一次防守失误,中国队还是被爱尔兰的莫里森抓住机会打入决胜球,最终0-1不敌世界排名第12的爱尔兰队。
Ireland’s Damien Duff(R) is challenged by China’s Hu Zhaniun during their friendly international soccer match at the Lansdowne Road stadium in Dublin. Ireland won 1-0.
Clinton Morrison’s goal eight minutes from time was good enough to give the Republic of Ireland a lacklustre 1-0 friendly win over China at Lansdowne Road here on Tuesday.
Just days after they’d been held to a 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw in Israel, Brian Kerr’s men looked well below their best despite the presence of an impressively large crowd of 35,000.
But Birmingham forward Morrison, on as a substitute, spared Ireland’s blushes with his fourth international goal in six games in the 82nd minute.
Ireland dominated but failed to create enough real chances to rock a busy Chinese outfit.
Most of the excitement was provided by Ireland, and the first real action came after six minutes when Stephen Elliot saw his low cross cut out by Leilei after a neat through ball by Kilbane.
The best effort of the half, however, came from the Chinese late on when a cross by left back Xiang was cleared beyond the edge of the box and Junzhe’s low drive forced a fine save at the foot of the post from Kenny. |
