The second round of the Cup came to a close. In the much-anticipated matchup, Sichuan Jiuniu narrowly defeated city rival Chengdu Rongcheng by 2-1, successfully locking up a ticket to the last eight.
In the eighth-quarter final of the AFC Cup, which is known as the "China League One Civil War", Sichuan Jiuniu defeated Chengdu Rongcheng 2-1 with a brilliant header by Xia Dalong and a precise long-distance shot by Wang Qi. After the match, Li Yi, the head coach of Sichuan Jiu Niu Team, attended the press conference and commented on the match. He said, "The schedule of this year's China League One is compact, with 34 rounds of league matches to be played one by one. After completing the third phase of the competition, our players had very little time to rest and then rushed to Meizhou without stopping. During the ten days in Meizhou, the team was in closed training, which was very hard. I would like to thank these players who helped the team break the historical record and reach the last eight of the AFC Cup again!"
After successfully eliminating Chengdu Rongcheng, Sichuan Jiuniu will welcome the challenge of Chinese Super League powerhouse Henan Songshan Longmen in the quarterfinals.
