Despite Guangzhou's offense in this duel, they were never able to effectively increase the score. As extra time approached in the first half, Heilongjiang Bingcheng had a good chance to score a penalty kick. Eriks took an easy shot to make the score 1-1, and then Eriks followed suit, sending the ball into the box again with a low shot to make the score 2-2. However, just before the break, Guangzhou unexpectedly suffered two consecutive goals from their opponents, which would be a nightmare for any team, and even worse for Guangzhou, who have been unstable in their form lately.
The match resumed in the 61st minute, Guangzhou's captain Hou Yu caught the goalkeeper off guard with a stunning world wave that pierced through the opponent's goal while he was unguarded. Although Heilongjiang Bingcheng launched a fierce counter-attack in the second half, Guangzhou's goalkeeper Huo Shenping stepped up to clear the danger three times in a row. In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Guangzhou won 3-2, earning three valuable points and climbing to 23 points in the table, seven points ahead of the relegation zone. The whole game was an unforgettable one, with ups and downs and heart-stopping performances from the Guangzhou team.
