On the evening of October 6, the China men's national football team lost 0-1 to Tajikistan in the Chongqing International Football Invitational, suffering their first-ever defeat to the opponent.此前 They had already lost 0-3 to New Zealand and 0-5 to Palestine, with three straight losses in which they failed to score a single goal and conceded 9 in total, dropping to 95th in the FIFA rankings. Head coach Shao Jiayi had promised fans a "perfect answer" before the match and apologized afterward.
