Just three minutes later, Jinan Xingzhou's foreign striker Karanga was pulled down by Guangzhou players in the penalty area, and the referee awarded Jinan Xingzhou a penalty kick again. Fortunately, Huo Shenping, as the goalkeeper of Guangzhou, played well and successfully saved the penalty kick. In addition, in the last minute of the first half, Efirdin made a one-two pass at the edge of the opponent's penalty area, and then passed the ball to the center of the field. However, the players in Guangzhou's penalty area were unable to catch Efirdin's pass, so they missed the scoring opportunity. Guangzhou trailed Jinan Xingzhou 1-2 after halftime.
In the second half, Jinan Xingzhou midfielder Ye Chongqiu received a second yellow card and was sent off after two yellows turned into one red. However, Guangzhou, who have played 11 games and 10 matches, failed to capitalize on the dominant chances and could not get a second goal to equalize. In the end, they lost 1-2 to Jinan Xingzhou and won their last two league matches.
Although Guangzhou lost the game on the road, Efirdin's performance was still amazing, showing the real strength of the national youth captain. There is nothing that can be done about it, the overall strength of Guangzhou team without foreign aid is weaker, coupled with the fact that they are playing on the road, the loss is completely understandable.
After this round of league matches, Guangzhou scored 24 points, only 7 points away from the second-bottom Jiangxi Lushan. When there are still 7 rounds of matches left to be played in the China First Division League, there is still a risk of relegation. Here, we also hope that all the members of Guangzhou team can be united and brave to face the strong enemy, perform well in the next 7 rounds of league games and finish the relegation goal of this season ahead of schedule!
