Dalian Kewei 2–0 Dalian Yingbo B | Chinese League 2

A local derby in China’s third division saw Dalian Kewei claim a comfortable 2-0 victory over city rivals Dalian Yingbo B at the Dalian Sports Center on July 25, 2026. The result kept Kewei in the promotion chase, while Yingbo B remained near the bottom of the table.

Match Summary

Kewei controlled the match from the outset, with their attacking trio causing problems for a young Yingbo B defense. The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Wang Zihao curled a free kick over the wall and into the top corner. Just before halftime, Liu Bowen doubled the lead with a close-range finish after a goalmouth scramble.

Yingbo B showed more fight in the second half but rarely threatened Kewei’s goal. The home side’s midfield, led by Zhang Yudong, dictated play and prevented any sustained pressure. The clean sheet was Kewei’s seventh of the season.

Derby Context

This was the first competitive meeting between the two Dalian-based clubs. While Yingbo B serves as the reserve side for Dalian Yingbo (playing in League One), Kewei are an independent club aiming for promotion to the second tier. The victory further cemented Kewei’s status as the stronger side in the city.

Table Implications

Dalian Kewei climbed to third place in the North Group with 28 points, two behind leader Shanxi Longcheng. Yingbo B remained 11th, with only three wins all season and a growing relegation threat.
