Qingdao Hainiu, the second ranked team before the match, welcomed the 33rd round of the Central League. Qingdao Manatees were ranked 10th before the match against Liaoning Shenyang City.
With two rounds left before the tournament, Qingdao Sea Cowboys have two points more than third-ranked Nantong Zhiyun, which has yet to lock up China's first runner-up spot. If Qingdao Manatees win and Nantong Zhiyun are unbeaten, Qingdao Manatees could lock up the first runner-up spot in China early. The two sides met most recently. At that time, Qingdao Manatees beat Liaoning Shenyang City with 3 goals, so Qingdao Manatees are a must.
Qingdao Sea Bulls were led by tough players such as Xu Yang, Guna, Chen Jiaqi, Sha Yibo, Zhu Quan and Zhang Tianlong in the starting lineup, while Liaoning Shenyang City were led by tough players such as Sun Yifan, Yu Shang, Gao Tian, Qian Junhao, Zhang Mingxuan and Liu Wenqing in the starting lineup.
In the 48th minute, Chen Jiaqi took an inverted triangle cross from her left teammate to help Qingdao Sea Bulls take the lead.
In the 60th minute, Kane made a great pass to Chen Jiaqi, who darted in front of the goal and scooped the ball. Qingdao Manatees won.
Finally, Qingdao Manatees defeated Liaoning Shenyang City, ushering in a wave of two consecutive victories and 12 rounds of undefeated league play. Liaoning Shenyang City Team's undefeated streak ended at five consecutive rounds. As Nantong Zhiyun lost this round, Qingdao Sea Cowboys won the league runner-up one round earlier. Congratulations to Qingdao Manatees!
