The 17th round of the Chinese Super League was in full swing, with Zhejiang Greentown and Shanghai Shenhua shaking hands 1-1.
As a promoted team, Zhejiang remains undefeated after 9 rounds of matches and is currently showing its strength with a place in the Super League table.
After the game, Yao Junsheng, who came on as a substitute, spoke frankly about the outcome of the game:
"It's a result that none of us are too happy with, and the same goes for our opponents. We didn't give up after conceding the goal, which is commendable, but that goal conceded is something we still need to analyze after the game."
Talking about the team's many good opportunities to score but failed to seize them, Yao Junsheng analyzed:
"We were all eager to win the game due to the enthusiasm of the fans in the crowd, who were cheering us on, so we may have been a little impatient mentally at key moments, which led to missed opportunities."
Since a 0-1 defeat on the road against Henan Songshan Longmen on July 3, Zhejiang has gone nine consecutive rounds without a loss, and the upstart team has been on an unusually strong run.
