In the second half, Qingdao Sea Cowboys started to rotate their personnel: Liu Jiaxun, Kane, Zheng Long in the 55th minute, and Jiang Ning in the 65th minute. However, Qingdao Sea Cowboys were still unable to penetrate Zibo Cuju's defense. The score stood at 1-1, with both teams shaking hands.
Despite being the newest team in the league, Qingdao Hainiu has already made a name for themselves in the Central League, sitting in third place on the table. Originally, they thought the game would be a handful of wins, but they were met with a tough resistance from Zibo Cuju, who eventually drew the game. This is undoubtedly a cold shot in this round of China A. 65-year-old coach Yin Tiesheng was on the bench with a grimace on his face.
After the Manatees' draw, it was the Sichuan Jiu Niu team that actually benefited the most. Although Shijiazhuang Kung Fu and Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic are ahead in points, these two teams are not in a position to overtake the competition. In this round, Sichuan Jiu Niu will face Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and clear, they must seize the opportunity to try to close the points gap.
