The Chinese Super League entered the competition for the promotion and relegation play-offs, in which the match between Dalian and Chengdu Rongcheng received widespread attention from fans. Dalian people are the overlords of the A and A period, who have created a miracle of winning the league unbeaten record, and now have the sponsorship of the former richest man Wang Jianlin Wanda Group, which can be described as a deep heritage. Chengdu Rongcheng is a new army that has only been established for three years, and the club has shown its dark horse nature this season and is eager to achieve the feat of two-level jump.
Since both teams are well aware of the importance of this game, the rhythm of the two teams at the beginning of the game is not mentioned quickly, and there is more element of testing each other. However, as the game progressed, players had to fight each other, and physical collisions became more and more frequent, resulting in the game being interrupted many times, and the tragic nature of the play-offs was revealed. Dalian found a good opportunity to break in the 10th minute, Larson took the left corner, the ball accurately found Dong Yanfeng in the penalty area, the latter jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal, but unfortunately the ball flew out of the upright, and finally hit the side net and missed the goal.
Subsequently, Silva of Chengdu Rongcheng fell down in the penalty area and tried to make a point, but was not heeded by the referee. Just when the first half was caught in a long tug-of-war, the more experienced Dalian man suddenly exerted his strength before the end of the half, in the 42nd minute, Larson instigated the attack, he was released by the Chengdu Rongcheng defender in the cross on the flank, and Sun Guowen, who followed up in time, shot with his right foot in the air without being watched in the penalty area, and the ball flew like an arrow off the string to the far corner of the goal, goalkeeper Zhang Yan had no way, and Dalian people led 1-0 at halftime.
Entering the second half, the backward Chengdu Rongcheng resolutely strengthened the strength of the front field, and the intention to try to save the defeat was very obvious. In the 54th minute, Chengdu Rongcheng caused Sun Guowen's second yellow card on the counter-attack, and Dalian was forced to play one less person. However, fearing the dalian people's rapid counterattack, the formation of the backcourt in Chengdu Rongcheng is still quite behind, which also makes the frontcourt players often fall into a helpless situation. Liu Ruovan and Silva worked very hard, but their multiple attempts to shoot on goal did not work for a long time.
But finally in the 78th minute, the team's efforts paid off. Feng Zhuoyi took the ball with his back in the penalty area, Zhao Xuri was bent on quickly unblocking the ball, and accidentally kicked Feng Zhuoyi, the referee awarded a penalty after watching the video, and the big general Felipe calmly tricked Zhang Chong into taking the ball closer. In fact, zhao Xuri's foul action in this ball is extremely obvious, but after eating the yellow dot set, he stared at the referee with angry eyes, looking extremely innocent, and this scene is also disgusting. In the end, the match ended 1-1 amid the constant complaints of Dalian people.
However, the story on the field is far from over, referee Li Haixin just blew the final whistle, Dalian substitute Zheng Long roared at him madly, and as a result, he received a red card and was sent off. Originally things settled, who knows that the players on the bench saw Zheng Long after being sent off, flocked to surround the referee, and even from the video, you can see that some players are punching Li Haixin, although the staff and on-site security guards try to calm the incident, but the Dalian players do not spare, it seems to want to ask Li Haixin for explanations, up to 1 minute of pushing and shoving can also see the chaos of the scene.
Finally, the game ended in a discordant sound, but it can be seen that Dalian people are extremely unwilling to win the game, after all, as an old team in the Chinese Super League, whether it is paper strength or relegation experience, it is far better than Chengdu Rongcheng. However, on the other hand, it is not easy to finally hold the draw in the second half when playing one less person. The data after the match showed that Chengdu Rongcheng fired 14 shots on goal, and goalkeeper Zhang Chong made 4 key saves, which was in a very brave state. In this way, the suspense of relegation will continue to be retained until the next leg, but judging from the Dalian people's performance tonight, it is not easy to still get 45% of the possession in the case of 10 to 11, which will bring a huge boost to the morale of the players.
