For the derby match, Harbour made some rotations to their starting lineup for this match, especially the two brawn-depleted wingbacks Lv Wenjun and Wang Shenchao were put on the bench. In addition, new signing Paulinho, who was brought in during the summer transfer, was in the starting lineup for the first time.
Throughout the first half, the Harbour team played not very well despite being very active, especially Paulinho, who was starting for the first time, and his teammates still lacked a tacit understanding in cooperation, which affected the team's offensive power.

The quick counter-attacks were sound and Tan Long nearly converted in the 30th minute when his shot from a narrow angle hit the post.
Harbor made changes to their lineup at halftime. Chen Binbin and Paulinho, who was in average condition, were replaced, and Lv Wenjun, who was playing as the main left wingback, and another
Player Zhang Huachen came in as an alternate.
Such a substitution did have an effect, and Harbour broke the deadlock in the 54th minute. Oscar took the ball on the left side of the field, transferred the ball to the right side of the gap, the right center back He Hubu, who pressed up to participate in the attack, passed the ball unguarded, and Lv Wenjun scored with a header at the back point.
As in the last Shanghai derby, Harbour's lack of bench depth in the forward line allowed their opponents to launch a bold and desperate attack. Thus falling behind

With no backers on the attacking line, Harbour skipper Leko could do little more than replace striker Lopez with buyer Tijan in midfield and fight to hold on to the scoreboard by tightening up the defense.

After the restart of these five games, Arnautovic, a first-class European center forward returned to the team, the Harbour front line offensive strength greatly reduced. These five games only scored 4 goals, while the first phase of the situation of the five games, the seaport team scored 13 goals.
