Last night, the Chinese League A ushered in a strong dialogue, Jiangdong wolf Nantong Zhiyun to meet the northwest wolf Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic.
The two teams in the first two teams were very close in the standings, ranking 5th and 6th respectively, and Nantong Zhiyun was only 4 points away from qualifying for the play-offs. There are still a few rounds left in the league, and it is not impossible to fight back. And the team is in very good form at the moment, having won 4 consecutive games, as long as it can win this game, then the team will further narrow this gap.
For the northwestern wolf Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, the recent state is also very good, although it is unrealistic to want to directly overtake, but the team has not lost the enterprising fighting spirit. The unbeaten 7 rounds of the league and the 4 consecutive wins also made the team full of confidence. This can also be seen in the platooning, although Feng Zhi is only an acting manager, he obviously wants the team to win this game, the main players all appear, and the tough combination of Onuebu + Tambu joins forces.
After the game began, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletics solidified its defense and waited for the opportunity to launch a counterattack. But after only a few minutes, the team's main striker, Onuebu, was injured and had to make passive adjustments. With the deepening of the game and gradually adapting to the rhythm of the field, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic accelerated the speed of turning from defense to attack.
In the 21st minute, the midfielder's long pass to the front, the opposing goalkeeper made a mistake, Ma Junliang snatched the hand, direct shot won, 1:0. The backward Nantong Zhiyun launched a strong counterattack, in the 30th minute, Correa received a pass from his teammate, and the front of the penalty area took the ball past the person to shoot in one go, although it was touched, but Correa scored a second shot. The first half was a draw between the two sides.
After the start of the second half, the outstanding U23 youngster Ma Junliang was injured and the team had to make adjustments again. Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, under the passive, once again played a wonderful counterattack in the 66th minute, Tanbu's header hit the crossbar, and after the ball bounced off, Tanbu shot it into the net, 2:1! This score was also maintained until the end of the game.
Throughout the game, it was not easy for the Northwest Wolves to win this victory. The control of the referee is actually not good, especially the two relatively large fouls, Yang Mingyang's rough actions, there is a suspicion of waste. But the referee did not make a convincing decision, and a yellow card was hastily issued. There were also a few more controversial penalties, only verbal warnings, but the control of the scene did not have any effect.
In the face of this hard battle, Feng Zhi, who is not usually radical, is also full of emotions in the scene. Team members such as Yang He, as well as Yang Hao, who came out later, in order to be able to save this victory, they did not hesitate to run around the field physically.
For Nantong Zhiyun, in fact, there are still some regrets about losing. After the loss, the points remained at 55 points, and the advantage with Shaanxi Chang'an Competition was only one point. In fact, this is not the most important, the key is to run aground again in the key competition for the promotion of the play-off seat.
The Zhejiang team, which is currently in fourth place, has 62 points, and both teams have only 4 games left, but according to the situation of the subsequent matches, Nantong Zhiyun is still relatively optimistic. Of course, the results still need to be kicked out one after another, and at the same time, they must rely on the opponent to make mistakes, and they can grasp it in time, while keeping themselves from making mistakes.
