At the end of the first half, the two sides were evenly matched and neither scored a goal.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The rhythm of the confrontation between the two sides continued to increase, and fouls and yellow cards appeared frequently on the field.
At the 55th minute of the game, there was a turning point. Malele scored to give Shanghai Shenhua a goal to take the lead.
