On May 5, a fierce and intense match between Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Hebei started in the 3rd round of the 2021 Chinese Super League in the capital city. In the first half, Hebei's Paulinho and Liao Wei missed a number of great chances to go straight at the goalkeeper, while Tianjin Jinmen Tigers player Zhou Tong unfortunately left the field with an injury. However, Malcolm assisted with a clever header, and Yin Hongbo seized the opportunity to fire in a shot to open the scoring for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.
The match resumed and in the second half, Cong Zhen was directly sent off with a red card after a foul. Although Tianjin Jinmen Tigers adjusted their strategy in the second half and the scene improved, unfortunately, they were unable to reverse the score and were defeated by Hebei with a score of 0-1.
After the game, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers head coach Yu Genwei was full of emotion at the conference: "This game was quite tough for us, and both sides showed excellent skills. We were a bit passive in the first half, but we made adjustments after the break and the situation improved significantly in the second half. Nevertheless, we still failed to achieve our goal, which is really regrettable."
