After a fierce competition, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers finally defeated the ten-man Qingdao West Coast with a score of 3-1, ending the opponent's winning streak.
At the beginning of the game, both sides showed a strong desire to attack, but failed to break the deadlock throughout the first half. West Coast foreign players Luce and Biugüer threatened in front of goal on several occasions but failed to convert them into goals, while on the side of the Tigers, Barton also had two attempts in front of goal, both of which were also untargeted.
The deadlock was broken in the 56th minute of the second half, when Vincent Kompagno headed in a pinpoint cross from Ademi to give Tianjin Jinmen Tigers the lead. Just five minutes later, Alain from Qingdao West Coast received a pass from Park Shihao at the edge of the penalty area, calmly shot to equalize the score at 1-1, which was Alain's first goal of the season and his first opening of the door to the Chinese Super League team after 973 days.
As the game drew to a close, both sides were looking for a win. In the 84th minute, Ademi took advantage of a free kick opportunity and scored directly to take the lead for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers again. Faced with an already unfavorable situation, Nelson Luz was sent off for a direct red card for a foul on a flying tackle. In desperation, the West Coast could only face it with ten men.
In stoppage time, Shi Yan of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers shook off the defense in the penalty area and scored with a low shot to lock the score at 3-1. This goal not only sealed the victory for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, but also brought the team a valuable three points.
In the end, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers won all three points away from home, ending the winning streak on the west coast of Qingdao. In this game, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers showed excellent teamwork and tactical execution, and after winning this game, their points came to 10 points, thus surpassing Taishan and Guoan, and ranking among the top four in the league.
