Then, Qingdao Hainiu equalized the score with an accurate long pass from Onuebu. Just when the crowd thought the game would end in a draw, Sichuan Jiuniu made a brilliant pass from the right side of the field to the center of the field, and Edouard Garcia's powerful shot made the score 2-1. Although Qingdao Hainiu tried their best to launch a counter-attack, they could not equalize the score, and had to accept the fate of the defeat.
Reviewing the whole game, Qingdao Sea Bulls exposed a lot of problems on the defensive side of the game, such as not keeping a close eye on the players, not enough co-defense, and unstable play. In the two goals conceded, Qingdao Hainiu's defenders appeared in the penalty area many times, but failed to stop Sichuan Jiuniu's attack effectively.
