India tackle Chinese Taipei of their final group stage match of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup on Tuesday with their hopes of qualifying for the quarterfinals, and by extension, the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup hinging on the results of this sport.
India have misplaced each their video games to this point on the Asian Cup. The opening sport was a heartbreak with Vietnam scoring a winner in second-half stoppage time to win 2-1. It was adopted by Amelia Valverde’s group being handed a drubbing by Japan, as they received 11-0.
Valverde must revitalise her fees and be sure that they can play their greatest sport of the event on the Western Sydney Stadium on Tuesday night. If Vietnam do not lose in opposition to Japan, India might be knocked out of the event proper there, so they are going to be hoping for that favour from the Japanese.
What if India win by two or extra objectives?
Should Japan beat Vietnam, the maths is straightforward for India. If India win by two objectives or extra in opposition to Chinese Taipei, they will end second of their group and can go on the face China within the quarterfinals in Perth on Saturday.
How will India end second with a two-goal win, regardless of that 11-0 loss? Classifications inside teams in AFC competitions are based mostly on head-to-head information, in case groups are tied on factors.
So, if India beat Chinese Taipei by two objectives or extra and Vietnam lose to Japan, then India, Vietnam and Chinese Taipei will all be tied on three factors. In that case, outcomes between the tied groups might be thought of. So, contemplating a 2-0 win for India, they’d have scored three objectives and conceded one in video games between the groups who would have tied on factors. Chinese Taipei would have scored one and conceded two and would end backside, whereas Vietnam would have scored two and conceded two, and would end third. In that case, Vietnam would qualify for the knockouts too, as they’d then be one of the best third-placed group within the competitors, out of the three teams.
What if India win by one aim?
This is the place math turns into barely extra advanced. If India win 1-0, they’d be out of the event except Japan beat Vietnam by 11 objectives or extra, but when they win by a one-goal margin having scored two or extra objectives, they’d qualify for the quarterfinals if Japan win by any margin.
That is as a result of within the case of a 1-0 win, assuming Japan do not win by 11 or extra in opposition to Vietnam, India can be tied on factors with Vietnam and Chinese Taipei and would even have the identical aim distinction and objectives scored as Vietnam in matches between the three tied groups. So, the subsequent consideration can be general aim distinction, the place India can be behind Vietnam.
If India win by one aim by rating two or extra objectives, so 2-1, 3-2 and so forth, they’d qualify for the quarterfinals as a result of in that case, the tie-break between the three tied groups can be in India’s favour, based mostly on objectives scored within the matches between the tied groups.
