After the changeover, both sides exchanged attacks and defenses for most of the game, but neither side was able to create the ideal breakthrough opportunity. It was not until the 81st minute that Suzhou took the lead again through a set-piece attack, with the attacking player scoring a goal. In the stoppage time, although BeiTech limited Suzhou to a continuous attack in the backfield, but Wang Minjie shot in the air in the penalty area, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out, finally, BeiTech lost 1-2.
