In a recently concluded Copa America group stage match, Qatar from Asia lost 0-2 to Argentina. In the end, they had no victories in the group stage and finished last with a record of 1 draw, 2 losses, and 1 point, failing to qualify for the knockout stage.

The South American Football Confederation only has 10 member countries, so it has invited two Asian teams, Qatar and Japan, to participate. Japan has participated for the second time, while Qatar has participated for the first time. Qatar won the new Asian Cup championship at the beginning of this year. In preparation for the 2022 World Cup final, they have now come to the Copa America to train and train their team.

In the first group stage, Qatar drew 2-2 with Paraguay, earning their first point in the history of the Copa America and setting a century old record for the Copa America. In the second round, Qatar faced strong Colombia and was only knocked open in the final moments, ultimately losing 0-1. Fortunately, Qatar, which had accumulated one point, still had the hope of advancing to the knockout stage and even surpassed Argentina in ranking.

According to the qualifying rules of the Copa America, the top two in the group and the two with good results from the three groups, including Qatar, which was assigned to Group B, are in the same group as Argentina, Colombia, and Paraguay. After finishing third in the group in Peru, both Qatar and Argentina have a chance to advance. Qatar, who finished third in Group B, accumulated 1 point in 2 rounds of group stage with a goal difference of -1, while Argentina, who finished fourth in Group B, accumulated 1 point with a goal difference of -2. This means that as long as Qatar defeats Argentina, they can qualify for promotion.

However, due to their lack of strength, Qatar, apart from being passive on the field, gave a super big gift in just 4 minutes of the start. Lautaro Martinez easily scored after stealing, causing Qatar to be in a momentary passive situation. In the second half, they conceded another goal and ultimately lost two goals to Argentina, being eliminated as the bottom of the group.

After Qatar failed to create a 103 year record for an Asian team in the Copa America, the hope of becoming the first Asian team to advance to the knockout stage of the Copa America lies with Japan. At present, Japan ranks third in Group C, with 2 games and 1 point, and a goal difference of -4. As long as they win the last round, they can basically ensure a qualification for promotion. The opponent is Ecuador, and Japan has a great chance of winning. Let's look forward to Japan's performance together.
