Shortly after the game began, a kick from outside the high-precision wing penalty area exploded and flew away, which was a bit outrageous. In the 12th minute, Guangzhou scored! Yang Liyu got the ball on the left side of the unguarded situation, he took the ball into the box, then got up and shot at the far corner, and the goalkeeper blocked the ball. The defender cleared the line and the ball bounced off Ling Jie and scored into the goal. This goal is amazing. Ling Jie simply scored 1 goal. Guangzhou took the lead.
In the 27th minute, Wei Shihao sent a cross on the left side, Liao Lisheng did not grab the top, the goalkeeper failed to touch the ball, and Zhang Xiuwei at the back point easily sent the ball into the empty goal. However, because Liao Lisheng was offside, the goal was ruled invalid, which was a pity. Three minutes later, Wei Shihao pushed someone to commit a foul while grabbing the ball, which allowed him to get a yellow card. After that, Memisevic and Ling Jie both received yellow cards for fouls. At the end of the half, Guangzhou led Hebei 1-0.
The second half was easy to fight again. In the 46th minute, Yang Liyu made a low shot from outside the perimeter, and the ball was blocked and changed direction, deflecting out of the goal and rolling out of the bottom line. In the 59th minute, Wei Shihao's side hook shot from the ground in the middle of the penalty area deflected off the left upright. Two minutes later, when Zhang Xiuwei grabbed the ball in the penalty area, he fell to the ground after a physical collision with the goalkeeper, but the referee did not show any indication. In the 67th minute, Melinsevic fired a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which was too positive, and Liu Dianzuo firmly held the ball in his arms. In the 74th minute, Guangzhou scored again! Tan Kaiyuan slammed the ball inside the penalty area and shot in one go, and the ball drilled into the far corner of the goal! The ball is entirely a reflection of individual ability. In the end, Guangzhou won 2-0 against Hebei.
