In the 15th round of the 2021 season, Suzhou Dongwu and Chengdu Rongcheng had a fierce battle at the Dalian Football Youth Training Center. Chengdu Rongcheng's Wu Guichao scored a lightning fast goal just three minutes into the match to give his team the first advantage. Then, at the end of the first half, Liu Chaoyang scored a goalkeeper's goal and put the ball into the empty net to further increase the score. In the second half, Suzhou Dongwu's Efirdin contributed a key assist and Tang Chuang equalized the game.
However, the game took a turn for the worse in the 85th minute, when Suzhou Dongwu's head coach, Mr. White, complained about the referee's decision and was shown a red card by referee Wang Wei and ejected from the game. Nevertheless, Suzhou Dongwu still lost 1-2.
After the game, team leader Niu Xiaolong attended the press conference on behalf of the team. Facing the questions, Niu Xiaolong said bluntly, "Although we were behind in the first half, our performance in the second half was quite outstanding, the players' desire to win was strong, and the coaching team highly evaluated their performance." Talking about the adjustment of players' mentality, Niu Xiaolong said, "We will continue to focus on the preparation of the next game and go all out for the victory."
