Only 43 minutes into the first half, Zeca provided a fine assist and Kressan hit a wonderful long-distance shot to give Shandong Taishan a 1:0 lead. In the second half, Yokohama Mariners quickly adjusted their tactics, with Anderson Lopez and Jan Mateusz scoring back-to-back goals to make the score 1:2, and Shandong Taishan fell into a passive position. Toward the end of the game, Luneng veteran Zheng Zheng stepped up and scored a key goal, staging a thrilling reversal. In the end, the two sides shook hands with a score of 2:2. The 2:2 draw showed the spirit of Shandong Taishan's tenacity and hard work, but it also exposed the team's problems on the defensive end. As the foreign aid Cressan said, if the key moment can concentrate, Shandong Taishan may be able to win the game. !

Shandong Taishan reportedly brought him in for only 50,000 euros. In this game, Marcel Scalese's performance was disappointing, called the team's back line "sinkhole", completely interpreted the meaning of "water goods". In this matchup, Marcel Scalese made his debut, partnering with veteran Zheng Zheng in the center back. However, compared to Zheng Zheng, who is good at both offense and defense, Marcel Scalesse's performance was disappointing. As a center back, he had obvious deficiencies in anticipating jams, interceptions and tackles, and was slow to move, always half a beat behind. In the confrontation, he was repeatedly eaten alive by the Japanese players and was even passed through his crotch. Looking back at the two goals conceded by Shandong Taishan, both of them were related to Marcel Scalese. Especially in the first goal conceded, his jamming prediction was wrong, which led to an easy header finish by Lopez. After the match, Marcel Scalesse's performance triggered heated debates among fans. Many Chinese fans said that the Brazilian center back's price is really "cheap", but the quality is not high.
