On December 15, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers ushered in the second match of the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Facing Henan Songshan Longmen, the Jinmen Tigers were behind 0-1, and the young player Shi Yan made a penalty before the final game, and then the foreign aid Magno took the penalty and was saved, and he followed up with the supplementary shot. In the end, the Jinmen Tigers drew 1-1 with their opponents who scored far more points than themselves, and the tenacity and spirit of not giving up that the team showed in this game deserved praise.
For the first time this season, the Tsumen Tigers sent four foreign players to start, with Magno, Ilochi, Vinović and Kadar all starting.
Henan Songshan Longmen also sent four foreign aides to start, with Kalanga, Dorado, Ivo and Shunić all on the list.
In the 66th minute, Henan Songshan Dragon Gate team used a corner kick to score with Kalanga's header. The Tsumon Tigers trailed 0-1
In the 88th minute, Shi Yan burst into the penalty area and was brought down by the opposing player, and the referee awarded a penalty. Magno's penalty was saved and he then scored with a header. In the end, the two sides drew 1-1.
This match is the 700th game of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers (including the predecessor) in the top league, and the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have sent four foreign aides to start for the first time this season. Similarly, the Henan Songshan Longmen team, which lost 0-1 to Dalian in the last round and suffered a defeat, also let four foreign aides, including Ivo, appear. The foreign aid lineup of the two teams, even in today's Chinese Super League championship group, can also make many teams envious. At the same time, the starters of the four foreign aides sent by both sides can also be seen that the two teams are determined to win this game.
The first round of the second stage was not satisfactory for either the Jinmen Tigers or the Henan team. The Jinmen Tigers were forced to draw by the Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team in the case of the overall advantage, and the Henan team was defeated by the Dalian team with one goal, so both teams hoped to transfer in this round of matches. However, both sides of the same team as the main defensive counterattack, the last round of the game also suffered losses due to conceded goals, so after the start of the game, both teams are mainly stable, appear to be very cautious. This also caused the wonderful scenes in the first half to be rare. Specific to the Jinmen Tigers, the team's defense in the first half was relatively stable, at the same time, Barton and three foreign players became the team's main offensive combination, through the cooperation in the 30-meter area of the front field, the Jinmen Tigers also created some opportunities, but unfortunately in the last pass and the last shot is still slightly lacking.
In the second half of the game, the Henan team with stronger paper strength, higher ranking and greater pre-match pressure gradually pressed out, which also made the Jinmen Tigers bear more pressure in defense. Several fouls committed by the Jinmen Tiger players in defense were not only shown yellow card warnings by the referees in succession, but also allowed to give Henan several free kick opportunities. In the 65th minute, a foul by the Jinmen Tiger player gave Henan a free kick in front of the field, and Henan's free kick attack formed another corner kick opportunity, and Kalanga used this corner kick opportunity to score the goal.
Compared with the first goal conceded against Chongqing in the last round, the Jinmen Tigers are behind this time, and it is obviously more difficult to pull back. First, there were only about 25 minutes left for the team. Secondly, henan is known for its defensive counterattack, especially after taking a one-goal lead, the "iron barrel array" is even more headache- In this case, the Tsumen Tigers, who had given up, did not give up, but were patient enough to deal with their opponents, and Shi Yan, who finally came on as a substitute, created a penalty and Magno equalized the score. If the 1-1 with Chongqing in the last round was regrettable, then the 1-1 with Henan in this round is even more precious, and this game also shows that the players are always trying to practice what coach Yu Genwei asked for before: resist the pressure and play every game!
Of course, the Jinmen Tigers still exposed some problems in this game. For example, in these two rounds of matches, the team's attention in defense is still a little lack of concentration, offensively, the two goals scored so far are from set-pieces, and the team still needs to improve its ability to seize opportunities in sports battles. In addition, Yang Zihao's injury in this game also reminded the Jinmen Tigers that a reasonable rotation was needed in the intensive schedule to ensure the team's combat effectiveness. At the same time, the team also needs to avoid unnecessary fouls in case of suspensions caused by red and yellow cards.
