In the 19th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on July 30, 2023, Beijing Guoan visited Shandong Taishan in a match that started in the pouring rain. At the beginning of the match, Nai Bijiang, the center of Guoan's midfield, unfortunately left the field with an injury, while Yang Liyu came on as a substitute and helped his team maintain a 0-0 stalemate until the end of the half. In the 59th minute, Shandong Taishan broke the deadlock with a goal from Fellaini. Then, in the 73rd minute, Shandong Taishan broke the deadlock again with Li Yuanyi's goal from a corner kick. In the 89th minute, Fernando's quick counterattack sealed the win for Shandong Taishan. In the end, Beijing Guoan lost 0-3 to Shandong Taishan on the road.
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the expedition fans who came out to cheer on the team in rain or shine, as well as to our fans and friends who have been supporting Beijing Guoan all along. Despite the fact that the fans fought side by side with the team in the inclement weather, the result of today's match was unsatisfactory and regrettable. The team will reflect deeply and draw strength from the defeat in order to show better performance in the coming matches. Fans are invited to come back to the stadium on August 4 to cheer for Guoan!
