On the afternoon of July 31, the first round of the 2021 Chinese Football Association Cup qualification round, there were 6 first matches in the three divisions of Qiannan, Yancheng and Luxi in the Chinese Second League. At present, the matches have ended, and the specific reports are as follows:
Qiannan Division
Hebei Kung Fu 6-5 Shaoxing Keqiao Yuejia (Penalty Shootout)
Xi'an Junwolf 4-1 Shanxi Longjin
Yancheng Division
Qingdao Manatee 1-3 Shaanxi Warriors Surpass
Kunming Zhenghe Shipwrights 5-2 Dongguan Guanlian
Luxi Division
Hunan Xiangtao 1-3 Sichuan Minzu
Yanbian Longding 0-4 Shanghai Jiading Huilong
Compared with the Chinese Second Division, the FA Cup is not the focus of some teams, especially some teams that have been promoted to the Chong A group, and they have no time to be distracted and fight on two fronts, so this time they appear in the FA Cup, they arrange a substitute lineup to play. Because of this, the results of some games are somewhat unexpected compared to the league.
Among them, in the Qiannan Division, Shanxi Longjin, who remained unbeaten in the 14 rounds of the first stage of the Chinese Second Division, and won the first place in the overall standings of the Central B Division, lost 1-4 to the 4th place Xi'an Jun wolves. This should be the Shanxi Longjin strategy abandoned. At present, they are concentrating on preparing for the next more brutal second stage of the Chinese Second Division. Xi'an Wolves, coached by coach Wang Bo, advanced to the second round of the FA Cup after winning. In the next round, they will play Against Hebei Kung Fu.
In another game in the division, Hebei Kung Fu, who also advanced to the first division, also played as a substitute, and as a result, they fought with Shaoxing Keqiao Yuejia to a penalty shootout. In the end, after a penalty shootout, they eliminated Shaoxing Keqiao Yuejia 6-5 and met xi'an wolves in the next round.
In the Yancheng division, the leader Qingdao Manatees coach Yin Tiesheng also arranged a substitute lineup to start, and the result was a 1-3 defeat to the Shaanxi Warriors. It can be seen that the Qingdao Manatee, who have lost the first division for 4 consecutive times, the number one task is to rush the first division, and they do not want to invest too much energy in the FA Cup.
Shaanxi Warriors have no chance to enter the Chong A group in the league, and they may want to prove themselves in the FA Cup. After winning the battle, they will face Kunming Zheng He shipwrights in the next round. It is worth mentioning that the Shaanxi warriors surpassed the former national gate Liu Yunfei in the squad, and the first battle of this campaign was also his return to the professional arena after 15 years.
In another game in the division, Kunming Zhenghe Boatman, who won one victory in the first stage of the Chinese Second Division, won 5-2 against Dongguan Guanlian, which was also the first victory of the season. This can boost their morale and play well in the next relegation group of the central two.
Dongguan Guanlian, which also won the ticket for the Chong A group, also had no intention of fighting in the FA Cup and ended this journey early. In the next round, Kunming Zheng He boatmen will have a dialogue with Shaanxi Warriors.
In the Luxi Division, the Sichuan Minzu Football Team, which did not qualify for the Chong A group, defeated Hunan Xiangtao 3-1, which was also a proper compensation for regrets. With their paper strength, I am afraid that they will strive to go further in the FA Cup in order to prove themselves.
Shanghai Jiading Huilong, which is at the top of the league, although it did not exert its full strength, still defeated Yanbian Longding by 4 goals, and will play against Sichuan Minzu Football In the next round. Yanbian Longding, who failed to win in the first stage of the league, did not taste victory in the FA Cup, and it seems that this youth team is more based on training and promotion.
Another 6 matches will be played on the afternoon of August 1.
