In the 47th minute, Cui Wei turned the game around for Meizhou Hakka with a precise shot that instantly lit up the field.
As the game progressed to the 73rd minute, Vukanovic seized the opportunity to score a beautiful header that momentarily threw the Dalian defense off its game.
Immediately after, in the 74th minute, Yin Hongbo again showed great speed, and a minute later the Dalianese defense completely collapsed.
Although Tesonev fought hard to pull a goal back as the clock entered the 86th minute, Meizhou Hakka's dominance was already established.
In the remaining time, both teams failed to rewrite the score despite their respective offense and defense. In the end, Meizhou Hakka won 4-2 against Dalian Ren and took three valuable points.
It is worth mentioning that after the transfer ban was lifted, Dalian Ren brought in a number of powerful players such as Manzocchi, Lauris, Mamba, Tesonev, Wu Nano, etc., which theoretically increased the strength of the team significantly. However, the addition of the new players did not bring the expected results. On the contrary, Dalian People lost to Meizhou Hakka with the scores of 0-0 and 0-4 respectively in the two matches. The challenge facing Coach Xie Hui is getting tougher and tougher, and he has to find the reason for the team's slump as soon as possible. The current relegation situation is still tough for Dalian people, Cangzhou Lions have introduced foreign aid, while Guangzhou team's morale and fighting spirit have also undergone qualitative changes.
In this match, Meizhou Hakka's starting lineup is as follows: 22-Hou Yu, 17-Yang Yihu, 20-Dugalić, 21-Wang Wei, 33-Liu Sheng, 10-Yin Hongbo, 13-Shi Liang, 19-Yang Yilin (U23), 25-Rodrigo, 27-Kosovic, 9-Vukanovic. Dalian's starting lineup, on the other hand, is 30-Wu Nano, 2-Lin Longchang, 14-Huang Jiahui (U23), 16-Tong Lei, 23-Shang Yin, 28-Fei Yu, 31-Lv Peng, 38-Lv Zhuoyi (U23), 7-Lin Liangming, 15-Zhao Jianbo (U23), and 17-Mamba.
