Meizhou Hakka celebrated their first four consecutive home wins since their promotion to the Chinese Super League in the 21st round of the competition. Rodriguez blitzed through the goal just 15 seconds into the match, followed by Conrad's clever shot in front of the goal, and new signing Kotelnik's ominous goal. With the excellent play of the three foreigners, Meizhou Hakka defeated Changchun Yatai 4-2. After a tough loss to Shandong Taishan in the previous round, Meizhou Hakka has managed to turn the clouds into sunshine, and after a round of adjustments, they have climbed up to the 11th place in the table, 7 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the road to relegation is becoming more and more open.
The Changchun Yatai team traveled from Changchun to Wuhua, Meizhou after an 11-hour drive. However, the team's physical and mental state was not at its best at the start of the match. Facing the fierce attack of Meizhou Hakka's four foreigners, Changchun looked difficult to fight in the opening stage.
Rodriguez and Conrad showed great offensive ability in the opening period, and Rodriguez's goal set a new record for the fastest goal in the Chinese Super League this season. In the second half, Zui's free kick nearly broke the goal, Changchun Yatai was in a passive mood soon after the start. In the 78th minute, Rodriguez and Konrad's subtle combination on the left allowed Konrad to score his fifth goal since joining the team.
Although the 3-1 scoreline did not put the game out of reach, Changchun's Zhang Yufeng equalized with a brilliant long-distance shot in the 90th minute. In the final stage of the game, Meizhou's new foreign aid Kotelnik made a breakthrough on the left side of the field and successfully created a chance, but due to the mistake of the opponent's defender Won Min-sung, the ball was sent into his own goal. In the end, the goal battle ended in a 4-2 victory for Meizhou Hakka.
