Liao Lixiang was called upon to come on as a substitute, and with the exquisite passes from his two elder brothers, he finally showed his unique technical style. Kaza's consecutive goals were the crystallization of their tacit understanding, which helped the team to win by a score of 3:1. Since joining Shandong Taishan, Liao Lixiang and Bi Jinhao have been questioned and disputed, and their performance has been slightly mediocre. But in this game, they became the key to the team to win the championship, for Shandong Taishan won the first victory in this season's AFC Champions League. It was a pity that Shandong Taishan stopped at the last eight last year. Expect them to go farther this year and make a breakthrough.
Shanghai Shenhua started the match in poor form and failed to break the deadlock in the first half against Pohang Ironmen, who have been in poor form lately. Pohang Ironmen have lost six consecutive league matches and have had no success in the last two months. Surprisingly, Shenhua not only failed to score in the first half, but also trailed by a goal in the second half. However, it was this goal that galvanized Shanghai Shenhua's fighting spirit.
Slusky Western Banshee adjusted their tactics decisively, and Shenhua adopted an aggressive and even risky strategy, which eventually led to an overwhelming victory. Against Pohang's ironman defense, Shenhua scored like nobody's business. In the last 40 minutes, Shenhua scored 4 goals in a row, averaging a goal every 10 minutes, and finally beat Pohang Ironman 4:1. Expect Shanghai Seaport to show the same great performance in the coming matches as well.
