In a Nanjing Football League match, Coach Cao Rui skillfully deployed the team, appointing Zhang Xinlin as captain and Huang Zihao in goal. Two powerful foreigners, Messi and Masika, led the way. Meanwhile, Yang He, Duan Yunzi, Yin Yagi, Sun Guoliang, Nie Aoshuang, Fu Huan and Ababekhe were all on the pitch.
Newcomer Traore is waiting on the bench, while players like Deng Biao, Huang Peng, Jiang Shichao and Zhang Hua Jun are also ready to be substitutes.
Just four minutes into the battle, NJ captured a great opportunity to attack and quickly pushed the offense into the opponent's half of the field. Macy received the ball and wisely passed it back to Masika, who was breaking through at high speed. After a short adjustment, Masika formed a one-two punch. Although Jinan Xingzhou goalkeeper Deng Xiaofei was unable to save the ball, Masika still shot the ball calmly and scored a fantastic goal for his team. This was also Masika's first goal in the league.
After conceding the ball, Jinan Xingzhou intensified their offense, but failed to break the deadlock. On the contrary, in the 42nd minute, Yang He broke through to the bottom line with his personal skills and prepared to pass the ball, but the ball accidentally hit the captain of Jinan Xingzhou, Ma Chong, changed the direction and went into the net, making the score 2-0.
In the second half, Jinan Xingzhou fought back, and in the 51st minute, substitute Zeng Yaozhang's cross from the right found Tambu, who stabbed the ball past the defender to make it 1-2, Tambu's third goal since returning to the team.
Jinan Xingzhou continued to attack and tried to turn the game around, but only managed to collect one goal until the end. 78 minutes later, newcomer Traore replaced Masika and failed to change the score on his debut.
In the end, Nanjing City beat Jinan Xingzhou 2-1 in this 6-point battle. After the match, Nanjing City accumulated 23 points, surpassing Jinan Xingzhou and Qingdao West Coast, jumping to the second place in the table and officially stepping into the super zone.
In the next round, Nanjing City will host leader Guangxi Pingguo at 19:00 on Saturday, July 8th. This is an overtaking battle also worth 6 points. To count the 14th round opponent Sichuan Jiuniu, Nanjing City needs to overtake the opponent in the next 4 consecutive matches to start a fierce battle. The results of these four matches will greatly affect their season trend.
