The battle was in full swing, with both teams playing their best players. Qingdao Sea Cowboys built an impenetrable core with Forbes, Tarbeck, Andre and other powerful foreigners in the midfield, while Shenzhen offered an all-star lineup to face the game. Qingdao Sea Cowboys took the lead soon after the game started with goals from Forbes and Peng. Facing the opponent's intensive defense, Shenzhen's offense was weak and passive, and at the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 1:0.
At the end of the match, Shenzhen did not give up and tried to equalize the score by taking advantage of a good penalty kick. However, youngster Xiahe Zati missed the chance as his penalty kick was valiantly parried by goalkeeper Mou Pengfei. Du Yuezheng's follow-up shot hit Mou Pengfei but triggered a brief clash between the two players. Qingdao Hainiu relied on Forbes' goal to further extend their advantage, and in the end, Forbes' hat-trick helped the team beat Shenzhen 5:0.
This victory is of great significance to Qingdao Hainiu. They finally ushered in their first win in the haze of nine rounds without a win, clearing the haze of the loss in the opening game. The improvement in goal difference and points allowed them to get rid of the relegation crisis and see the hope of relegation. Shenzhen, on the other hand, lost four consecutive games and are deep in the relegation spiral.
The Chinese Super League has entered a white-hot stage, with teams fighting for relegation and points. Qingdao Hainiu's victory not only brought joy, but also injected them with motivation and confidence.
