Chinese fans are already resigned to the result against Korea.
The Chinese national team was completely defeated 0-3 in the first match of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (hereinafter referred to as the East Asian Cup) against the South Korean national soccer A team at Mir Stadium in Yongin on the 7th. It was Korea without European teams, but it was no match for China's skills.
China has been lethargic throughout the game. Some expected the outcome of the turnaround with promising player Wang Ui-dong starting, but they couldn't work at all against South Korea. China, which lost points to Lee Dong-kyung in the 8th minute of the first half and Joo Min-kyu in the 21st minute of the first half, even allowed Kim Joo-sung to score a net in the 11th minute of the second half. He was in a hurry to continue to defend, and he hardly produced any threatening attack scenes.

After the game, Dejan Djurjevic, the acting Chinese coach, said "Korea was a very strong team. Not only did he press hard, but he also made a great first goal. After that, the game didn't go as we had prepared."
Chinese fans seem resigned to the result of the game. China's Dong Qiudi was not able to " The Chinese national team has won six consecutive games against South Korea and is scoreless. The last score was in 2017. China lost to South Korea in the last six games, allowing 13 goals and failing to score a single goal." Chinese fans responded to these results by saying, "For South Korea, it would have been a match we are playing against Myanmar."," he lamented.
He seemed to cheer for the small crowd. Only 4,426 spectators visited the stadium that day. Considering the capacity of Yongin Mir Stadium's 37,000-person capacity, 10% of the total capacity visited. It was the aftermath of the heat wave and weekday schedules. Even with such little attention, the Chinese fans were able to prevent many Korean fans from seeing the mistakes of the Chinese national team", "It was a game that could not have a lot of audience," he said in a mock joke.
