In today's match, the Guangzhou team did not send any of the naturalized players, some of them have returned to Brazil, some even did not arrive in the tournament area, the only international goalkeeper on the field only Liu Dengzheng to guard the goal. Beijing Guoan, on the other hand, has a full complement of nationalized players, with only the newly joined Anderson Silva on the sidelines, and the other foreigners have all returned to the team.
In the first half of the game, both sides scrambled fiercely, but the technical level is slightly insufficient, and many counterattack opportunities were not converted into goals. Guoan's offense did not form a threat, the advantage of the midfield did not appear, although Silva had a few chances to shoot, but the shooting skills are not fine, highlighting its level of general. Guangzhou relied on the speed of Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu to create a few counterattacks, but the effect was limited, and the quality of the passes didn't bring them many good opportunities. He Chao and Zhang Xiuwei's organization in the midfield is still insufficient.
Although both sides fought hard, the lack of stars made the game slightly less exciting.
Into the second half, after about 70 minutes, both Guangzhou and Guoan showed signs of physical decline. Guoan had some chances, but Li Lei and Silva were unable to capitalize on them. In the 81st minute, in a corner kick opportunity, Zhang Yuning header broke the deadlock!
