At 18:00 Beijing time on the evening of August 8, the 13th round of the 2021 Chinese Super League (CSL) was held at the Yuexiushan Stadium in Guangzhou. Guangzhou City was defeated by Shandong Taishan by a score of 1-3 in the matchup. Guangzhou City is currently ranked fourth in the region and a win would have put them in the top four, but unfortunately they were unable to accomplish this goal and had to fight to the death against Henan Songshan Longmen in the final round.
After the game, Guangzhou City's foreign aid Guilherme received an exclusive interview with media reporters. Talking about the game, he said: "I never thought we would lose this game, we treat every game with the same attitude, as long as we step on the pitch, our goal is to get all three points. Although we were aware of Shandong Taishan's strong position in the Chinese Super League, we never thought of giving up or just chasing a draw. This loss is also a normal win for our team. Now, the most important thing we need to do is to make good adjustments and get ready for the next game."
