Kim Shin-wook and Bassogo jumped from the bench to the starting lineup, joining Adrian and Jonic to form a four-foreigner lineup. Meanwhile, Zhang Lu replaced Wen Jiabao at left back. !

In the 3rd minute, Wu Xi skillfully lifted the ball into the center of the box, and Adrian quickly grabbed Gao Jiayun and jumped up to head the ball into the goal, giving Shenhua a 1:0 lead. Just 5 minutes later, Basogo sent a precise ground ball from the right side of the field, and Jin Xinyu pressed the opponent's defense in the box and sent the ball into the corner of the net, extending the score to 2:0. Jin Xinyu's goal not only boosted his confidence, but also brought great encouragement to the team. !

In the 6th minute, Basogo took the ball on the right and quickly broke through Kadar, and when he shot, Li Songyi's arm was suspected to have touched the ball, but the referee didn't award a penalty after the VAR prompted him to do so. !

Cao Yunding took the free kick and although Yu Hanchao did not touch the ball, goalkeeper Teng Shangkun was interfered with as a result and Shenhua eventually won 3:1. !

However, youngster Wen Jiabao was red-carded for two yellow cards in this match. !

This arrangement may be due to the fact that Wen Jiabao will face a suspension in the next round of matches against Guoan, and Choi Kang-hee's rotation plan may be disrupted as a result. Wen Jiabao's suspension will also affect the staffing of the center back. If Wen Jiabao played in the next round, Zhu Chenjie, who previously played two consecutive full games, may need to rest, which is a serious test for him who has just returned from injury. !
