On the afternoon of May 6, the sun was shining just right as the third round of the Central League matches went on as scheduled. Gusu Dongwu and Liaoning Shenyang City competed against each other in a fierce match.
Looking back at the previous match, Gusu Dongwu lost 0-1 to Guizhou, but the new season has already begun, with 1 win and 1 loss, which is not ideal, but also a sign of a promising future. Liaoning Shenyang City, on the other hand, beat Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) 2-1 in the last round of the league, and the joy of their first win has boosted their confidence.
In this game, both teams appeared with full Chinese squad. In the first half, the two teams went back and forth, and there were frequent transitions between offense and defense, but there were not many really threatening shots on goal. In the second half, Shi Zhe broke the deadlock for Gusu Dongwu in the 67th minute with a precise header.
As the game entered the white-hot stage, both sides began to adjust their tactics in an attempt to turn the game around. Although Liaoning Shenyang City had scored a goal before the end, the referee's whistle ruled the goal invalid and offside. At this moment, the atmosphere on the field became more and more tense.
