In a quick counterattack, Parmanjiang attacked the opponent's penalty area from a small angle, scoring 1:0 lead.
At the break, Guangxi took the lead in adjusting their lineup and gradually regained the initiative, equalizing the score in the 73rd minute. From there, Javier also changed starters Huang Zichang and Zhong Yihao to strengthen the offense. This substitution became the turning point of the game. In the 89th minute, Huang Zichang scored from inside the box to help Mt. Longman take the lead again. In the ensuing extra time, Songshan Dragons scored two more goals. First, Zhong Jinbao scored from long range, then an opposing defender gave the gift of a penalty kick for a foul in the box. Huang Zichang's penalty was the icing on the cake, thus reaching 4:1 to advance to the next round.
