More than 20,000 fans came to watch this Chinese Super League match. At that time, Dalian fans joked that Shenyang Jinde's style of play was a torn pants and leg wrapped around the leg, and that they played hard in every game.
Less than a minute into the first half, Zhai Yanpeng created a kill on the left and the cross was blocked by an opponent's defender. Zhao Xuri opened a corner kick, Zhang Yaokun header, the ball bounced off Mijanovic's arm and bounced out, referee Yao Qing did not make any decision, the game continued, the penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction of Dalian Shide players.
After that, Changsha Jinde had a chance to counterattack, but Dalian Shide still had the absolute advantage and basically staged a half-court attack and defense.
In front of Changsha Jinde's contracted defense, Dalian Shide could only threaten the opponent with long-distance shots frequently. Dalian Shide missed many chances to score, while Changsha Jinde's attack was also blocked by Chen Dong, the two teams played a 0-0 draw in the first half.
It should be noted that Chen Dong is currently in charge of Dalian Yingbo Football Club, and together with investor Wang Kui, who was also born in 1978 (a Horse), and head coach Li Guoxu, he makes up the management team, known as the "Troika".
In the second half, Kindred went on a sharp attack, but Jangovic responded at that point, delivering the knockout blow.
In the 59th minute, Xu Bo fouled Jangovic at the top of the penalty area, leading to a free kick in front of Shide. The players tried to confuse the opponents, and after the referee blew the whistle, Jangovic took the penalty himself and hit a beautiful arc with his right foot, the ball went around the wall and hit the crossbar before bouncing into the net, breaking the deadlock on the field.
Playing at home for the first time in front of Changsha fans, Changsha Jinde launched a massive attack after losing the ball. In the seventy-sixth minute, there was a sudden change on the pitch, when Jangovic was tackled by Xu Bo in the midfield, and Jangovic fell to the ground in pain. Xu Bo stood up and started to challenge Lao Yang, then both players started to surround the referee, one side protesting to the referee and the other side seemingly trying to stop the referee from showing cards.
The referee came back behind him and showed a red card to Jangovic, who had just gotten up, and Jangovic, who got the card, was furious. While getting ready to leave, he turned around and went back to the referee's theory, mouthing off, before finally leaving angrily. Slow-motion replay showed that Jangovic had a hidden hooker on his legs as he was getting ready to get up, and spat twice at Xu Bo as he sat on the ground.
Dalian Yifang played the match with only ten players left. In the 78th minute, Zhao Ming once again took a flying action against Zou Jie, which triggered the dissatisfaction of the players of the side. After the assistant coaches managed to dissuade them, the game was able to continue.
In the 86th minute, Bonfrere was replaced by Hu Zhaogun, who had been out of action for a long time, to strengthen the defense. A minute later, Changsha Jinde attacked directly from a corner kick. Wang Sheng blocked the ball on the goal line, shocking Chen Dong.
In the end, Dalian Shide beat Changsha Jinde 1-0, taking the victory from the away field with difficulty, and also eliminating the embarrassing situation of not winning in the first round of matches for three consecutive seasons.
After the match, Jangovic was banned for six matches and fined 6,000 yuan by the CFA.
