Taking the initiative, Guangzhou once had more possession time in the first half, and although the number of shots on goal was one less than that of their opponents (5-6), the number of hits on target (3-2) was ahead of their opponents, and they also collected a leading goal. In response to the lessons learned from the loss in the first round of the encounter, Guangzhou team made a targeted deployment in this game, reducing the opponent's chances of set-pieces in the dangerous areas of their own half of the field, but also strengthened the defense of the overhead kicks, did not let the first round by the opponent to use the corners of the opportunity to break through the door once again. Young center back Wu Shaocong, who played the whole match, said that because of the sudden cooling down of Guangzhou on the day of the match, it also drizzled a little bit, which had a little impact on the players' play, but the team still carried out the pre-match deployment very well, and took the three points as expected. Head coach Liu Zhiyu also believes that the team fought until the last second and their performance deserved a victory like this, "There will be some impact on passing and receiving (from the rain), but it's not the most important thing. Maybe after the previous game, the other side also has some research on us, and also the schedule to now everyone's body has a different degree of fatigue reaction, the most important thing is that we took the game, which is the most critical."
