In the 25th minute, Huang Jiaqiang skillfully created space in the opponent's penalty area and sent a fatal pass to Guo Yi, who opened the score with a header to break the deadlock on the field. However, the turning point of the game came in the 35th minute.

After a subtle combination, Shijiazhuang's foreigner Vinicio scored a header to put the game back in front. Although Qingdao West Coast fought back with all their might, they were unable to recover and had to accept the 1-2 scoreline, leaving the match with regrets.
