On May 5, Beijing night, the 2021 Chinese Super League was in full swing, with the 3rd round match between Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Hebei. In a tense first half, Hebei's Paulinho and Liao Wei missed a couple of great chances straight at the keeper, while Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' Zhou Tong unfortunately left the field with an injury. However, it was in the midst of this onslaught that the deadlock was broken when Malcolm's header cleverly delivered an assist for Yin Hongbo.
After the change of sides, the wind changed in the second half. Cong Zhen was sent off with a red card after a foul, and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers finally lost 0-1 to Hebei.
As the game came to an end, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers head coach Yu Genwei confessed in a press conference, "This was a very tough game for us, and both sides put on a great performance. We were a bit passive in the first half, but we adjusted our tactics in time after the halftime break, and the field improved significantly in the second half. Unfortunately, in the end, we were unable to realize the reversal."
