After the game, Beijing Guoan head coach Bilic commented on the game: "After three rounds of league matches, we finally got this victory. It was an exceptionally tough game with a very tight defense. In the first half, we adopted a conservative strategy and failed to find a way to break through. But in the second half, we adjusted our tactics and our players performed well, finally opening up the situation and scoring two goals to win this crucial victory."
