The FIFA World Cup Qualification play-off match between China and Thailand took place on Friday night, and the Chinese team emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. The victory was a major achievement for China, who had to overcome a tough opponent in Thailand.

In the first half of the game, both teams were evenly matched, but it was the Chinese team who found their breakthrough in the 45th minute when substitute Li Wenjie scored his first goal for China. In the second half, Thailand tried to come back into the game, but the Chinese defense remained strong, and they managed to hold on to their lead until the final whistle.

The win secured China's spot in the group stage of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, which will be held later this year. It is a significant achievement for China, as they have not qualified for the World Cup since 2002.

The victory also marked a return to form for China, who had struggled in recent years under new coach Guan Zhouwen. With this win, China has shown that they still have what it takes to compete at the highest level of football.

Overall, the victory was a great day for Chinese football fans, and it will hopefully inspire them to continue supporting their national team in future matches.
