At night, on May 16th, Wuhan Hankou Culture and Sports Center witnessed a fierce battle between Wuhan Sanzhen and Gusu Dongwu in the fifth round of the first stage of the 2021 season of the Chinese League. In the first half, the two sides went back and forth, but neither side was able to break the barrier. In the second half, Hu Mingfei broke the deadlock in the 76th minute with a header from a corner kick, like an eagle striking the sky. Then, in the 92nd minute, Wuhan Sanzhen's Edmilson added a shot from inside the penalty area to equalize the score. In the end, Gusu Dongwu and Wuhan Sanzhen shook hands and settled for a 1-1 draw.
After the game, Guso Eastwood's head coach White appeared in the spotlight of the press conference. He said, "Tonight's game was the best game we've played so far in our group. Both teams were hungry for the points, but unfortunately we missed too many good chances. The only people I feel unhappy about being scored on late in the game are probably our team." Talking about his evaluation of the five opponents after five rounds of the tournament, White said, "First of all, in terms of budget, Wuhan Sanzhen is undoubtedly the leader with a strong team, assisted by Taiwanese players and three foreigners. Today, our team showed the strength of the All China Class and I am proud of my players for going up against them. Although the opponent is strong on paper, tonight, we think it should be our moment to get three points."
