The Chinese team continued to press and tried to extend the score, but the Hong Kong team was very tenacious in defense and did not give the Chinese team too many chances.

The situation of the Chinese team deteriorated even more in the second half, receiving three red cards in a row and sending off three players. In the 65th minute, Wang Shangyuan fouled An Yongjia in the midfield, and was shown a second yellow card by the referee, which turned into a red card and was sent off.

Fortunately, Hong Kong's penalty was saved by Wang Shangyuan and did not change the score.

With a small number of three, the Chinese team completely lost the ability to fight back, and could only struggle until the final whistle.
