The first round of the Chinese Super League match between Zhejiang and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng was very intense. Both sides showed a strong willingness to attack at the start of the match. In the 13th minute, Ortiz attempted a cross, but Byhramu's header went wide. In the 19th minute, Sun Guowen spoiled a clear scoring chance on the edge of the box, so referee Ai Koon showed him a red card after watching the video replay. This left Zhejiang with 10 men for the rest of the match.
Despite being outnumbered, Zhejiang didn't give up, and they continued to show great sophistication on the field. However, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng also had some chances, but they were just a little less able to capitalize on them. For example, in the 40th minute, Ortiz tried to shoot, but the ball went wide. In the 42nd minute, Edu Garcia took a shot from inside the box, but Zhao Bo parried the ball away.
In the second half, both sides continued to engage in fierce offense and defense. In the 52nd minute, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng started to strengthen their offense. In the 54th minute, Zhu Baojie crossed the ball, but An Yongjia's header was too high. In the 58th minute, Baihe Lamu tried to head the ball again, but Zhao Bo was brave enough to parry the ball out again.
In the final stage, Thiago attempted a header, but again, Zhao Bo pounced on it. In the end, despite playing with only 10 men, Zhejiang managed to get a 1-0 win over Shenzhen Xinpengcheng with excellent defense and Frank's goal to open the new season.
