In the match, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu broke the deadlock in the 28th minute with a header from Vinicio, assisted by Wang Song's accurate corner kick. Afterwards, the team increased their attacking efforts, but the rhythm of the attack gradually became impatient in the face of the opponent's tenacious resistance. While Qingdao Hainiu launched a fierce attack in the final stage of the game, Shijiazhuang Kungfu contracted the whole team's defense, and finally succeeded in resisting the opponent's attack.
The match was a sparkling affair, with Qingdao Manatees winning the first round by one goal, and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu returning the favor with one goal in the second round, resulting in a 2-2 draw, with each team picking up three points. However, Qingdao Manatee's loss threatened their lead and put their third place in the standings in jeopardy. Shijiazhuang Kung Fu took all three points and climbed to 40 points, narrowing the gap with Qingdao Manatee to three points. The gap between the third and sixth places is now extremely small, with four teams battling it out for a promotion spot.
Both sides failed to score in the first half, with Sichuan Jiuniu launching an onslaught of attacks but failing to convert them into goals. Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) played solid defense, after all, the team has lost consecutively recently, a draw is a big consolation for the league. In the second half, Sichuan Jiuniu continued to strengthen the attack, and finally broke through the opponent's goal in the 63rd minute, with Wang Chu taking the lead for the team; followed by Xia Dalong, Sichuan Jiuniu added another goal, and BIT's defense collapsed instantly.
Nonetheless, BIT failed to keep the victory in the end and suffered consecutive defeats, including nine consecutive losses in the league. The current situation of BIT is not optimistic, and relegation seems to be a probable event, the team still needs to strive for a win in the remaining 13 rounds of matches. Sichuan Jiuniu, on the other hand, performed well and moved up to fourth place after taking all three points. Due to Qingdao Hainiu's loss, the gap with Hainiu narrowed down to two points, and the fight for the third promotion place became more and more intense.
