On the evening of April 10, 2024, Beijing time, in a match in the fifth round of the Chinese Super League, Qingdao West Coast hosted Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. In the first half, the two teams played to a 0-0 draw. In the second half, the Jinmen Tigers scored a goal, but just four minutes later, Qingdao West Coast equalized. In the 82nd minute, the Tianjin team relied on a free kick in front of the goal directly. Towards the end of the second half, the foreign players of Qingdao West Coast also received a red card. And Tianjin scored another goal in stoppage time to completely kill the game. In the end, Qingdao West Coast lost 1-3 at home to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.
The two teams have never played each other before, but for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, almost when they face promoted horses, they basically have a lot of experience, more wins and fewer losses. The west coast of Qingdao, which has won two consecutive victories, also has the true color of a dark horse, so this game can be regarded as a test of the dark horse by the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.
The most exciting thing about this game is not the final ending. Instead, naturalized player Alan scored his first goal in the Chinese Super League this season, which is gratifying, and it was also Alan scored his first goal in Qingdao West Coast. This also gives him confidence to be able to enter the national team in the next step and perform well. At the same time, this is also the first time Alan has scored in the Chinese Super League since August 2021, so far, Alan has scored 55 goals in his Chinese Super League career, six of which have been scored against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, and Alan has scored more Super League goals against Jinmen Tigers than against any other opponent.
At the end of the second half, Qingdao West Coast fell again, this time at the feet of the foreign aid of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, and this time the goal was conceded under the premise that Alan had just been replaced. At that time, the Tianjin team won a free kick, and foreign aid Albion scored a direct free kick, which was very handsome.
In the 89th minute, Qingdao West Coast's No. 10 foreign player Nelson Luce received a red card for a foul. In fact, this sentence is a bit too heavy, judging from the slow motion, although Nelson has an obvious pedaling movement, it can also be seen that Nelson is not aiming for the opponent's thigh.
Because of this red card, the Qingdao West Coast team completely lost the will to fight. In the 94th minute, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers scored another goal to lock the score at 3-1, which also meant that the game was completely killed.
It's nothing for Qingdao West Coast to lose a game, but the red card suspension of foreign player Nelson is not a good thing for the promoted team.
