The performance of the 18-year-old Chinese national soccer team Shin Seong Wang-dong (Soo-dong) in the final match of the World Cup qualifying round left a deep lingering impression on Chinese soccer fans.
Wang Wang Dong, who is considered China's next-generation ace, gave a 1-0 victory to Bahrain in the 10th game of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Longxing Football Stadium in Chongqing, China on the 10th (Korea time), scoring a golden first-round goal in the 3rd minute of the second half of the 2020 North-China World Cup.
China, which lost 0-1 at the previous match against Indonesia and failed to advance to the World Cup finals for the sixth consecutive time, had the only goal in the match against Bahrain. Both teams had six points each in nine games, and China, four goals behind the difference, was at the bottom of Group C.
The Chinese team, which disappointed Chinese fans again, tried to soothe their fans by winning their last home game.

But China, already out of motivation, failed to threaten Bahrain's goal for nearly 90 minutes. In the 3rd minute of extra time in the second half, when the 0-0 draw was in the air, China got a penalty penalty foul. The penalty kicker, who was burdened with missing out, was the one who had never scored a goal in the A national team.
Wang Wang-dong, who shook the net with a shot that cut the right corner of the goal, immediately took off his uniform top and ran in front of the home supporter's seat to perform a wild ceremony. Wang Yu-dong, Chinese players and supporters enjoyed the moment of scoring together, as if they had forgotten for a moment that they had already failed to advance to the World Cup finals. China defended Wang's goal to the end, winning 1-0 and escaping from the bottom, maintaining the last face.
The goal made Wang the youngest scorer of the World Cup qualifying round in the history of the Chinese national soccer team at the age of 18 years and 199 days. Tears flowed in the eyes of a male fan in the stands after Wang Wang-dong's score was scored.
Many fans questioned Wang's ceremony, according to the Chinese portal `Sohu Dotcom.' With the team already failing to advance to the World Cup finals, the ceremony of taking off the uniform is "excessive". There were also fans who made the argument that `this victory means nothing' and fans who pointed out that they were less empathetic than their royal skills.

In the end, everyone worked hard to get a penalty"There were many older brothers playing their last national team game today. I want to use this victory as a celebration for my seniors who are about to retire."
