In this match of honor, Vukanovic scored a beautiful shot to give Meizhou Hakka the first goal, however, Malcolm then equalized the score with a precise header. As the whistle blew for the end of the first half, Xie Pengfei seized the opportunity of the counterattack and scored a powerful shot to make the score 2-1, and Wuhan Sanzhen finally won the hard-fought match against Meizhou Hakka.
Xie Pengfei's goal is his 5th of the season, and as a central midfielder, his goal-scoring efficiency is amazing. It is worth mentioning that in these 5 goals, 4 of them were scored on the road, and only 1 came from the home field, which undoubtedly highlights Xie Pengfei's strong psychological quality.
In addition to goals, Xie Pengfei also contributed 4 assists this season, compared to his previous experience in Jiangsu, after a year of Cangzhou Lions hammering, now he looks more mature and stable.
It is worth mentioning that Xie Pengfei suffered a small embarrassment when he was interviewed after the match. Faced with a reporter who was not too familiar with his experience in the Central League period, the other side asked curiously, "In the Central League period, you also came to Meizhou to play soccer, this time again here, what do you think?"
Faced with this slightly abrupt question, Xie Pengfei did not show any displeasure, he smiled and responded, "I did not play for this team last year, so this is the first time I set foot here. I think the soccer atmosphere here is very strong, and the southern style of soccer complements the way it is played here."
