In the heat of the battle in the 5th minute, Mercy Pauli showed exceptional passing skills to accurately pass the ball to Masika, who capitalized on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to knock the door first for the visitors.
However, the game took a turn for the worse. In the 43rd minute, the home team's Ma Chongchong accidentally sent the ball into his own goal, an ominous goal that not only extended the visitors' lead, but also added to the drama of the game.
Nevertheless, the hosts did not give up. In the 52nd minute, Tambu helped the hosts to equalize the score with a brilliant shot.
In the end, Jinan Xingzhou, playing at home, could not withstand the fierce attack of Nanjing City and ended up with a defeat. Jinan Xingzhou suffered their fourth consecutive Waterloo and failed to win in six consecutive league matches. Meanwhile, Nanjing City quickly climbed to 2nd place in the table after the game, overtaking Qingdao West Coast. Jinan Xingzhou, on the other hand, unfortunately slipped to 4th place, a worrying situation.
