In the 10th round of the 2022 season's Central League, the afternoon's battle witnessed Sichuan Jiuiu Niu successfully beat Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear with a score of 1:0, thanks to Xiao Kun's long-distance goal in the third minute of injury time, to open the first victory in the second stage of the tournament.
Looking back to July 8, Sichuan Jiuniu had lost 0:2 against Heilongjiang Bingcheng, declaring the end of the team's undefeated streak in the league for seven rounds. After the match, the team moved from Dalian to Nanjing to prepare for the second phase of the 2022 China League. During this period, the team's assistant coach Jesús Tuttle and goalie coach Juan returned to the team, and Tuttle even replaced Huang Lingfeng as the team's acting head coach.
However, the strengthening of the personnel did not bring good luck to Sichuan Jiuniu in Nanjing. The hot weather and the inability to play night matches at the Jiangning soccer training base made it extremely difficult for the players, who were used to the cooler climate of Dalian, to adapt. In the first match of the second stage, Sichuan Jiuniu lost 1:4 to Qingdao Youth Island, which not only set the record of the biggest loss of the season, but also dropped the league ranking from 3rd to 7th.
In this afternoon's game, Sichuan Jiu Niu faced the weaker Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear, and Coach Tatuo's goal was to get all three points. However, the high temperature and the tough defense of the opponents made the JiuNiu players feel the pressure doubled. Nansong and Muzhapal, the two side breakthrough masters, repeatedly suffered from the opponent's shoveling, but the referee seemed to turn a blind eye to this, which also laid the fuse for the second half of the conflict between the two sides. In the second half, Sichuan Jiuniu continuously replaced Wang Chu, Zhou Dadi to strengthen the attack. In the 65th minute of the game, Wang Chu got a chance to break through in the middle of the road, but was shoved down by the Guangxi Pingguo Hazhou defender, and then the two sides broke out in a clash. The referee ruled that the two sides each played fifty big boards, the red card will be Wang Chu and Guangxi Pingguo Hazhou goalkeeper Jia Xinyao sent off, the conflict can be calmed down.
