Sanming, China – 16 May 2026 – Fuzhou Team delivered a masterclass in attacking football as they crushed Sanming Team 4-1 away from home in the Fujian Football City League. The result cements Fuzhou's position at the top of the league table, while Sanming's playoff hopes take a heavy blow.

First Half Onslaught

Fuzhou wasted no time in asserting their dominance. They took the lead in the 8th minute when speedy winger Chen Jie cut inside and fired a low drive into the bottom corner. Just five minutes later, the lead was doubled: a precise through ball from midfielder Lin Wei found striker Huang Tao, who calmly slotted past the Sanming goalkeeper. By the 25th minute, it was 3-0. A corner was only partially cleared, and defender Zhou Ming smashed the loose ball into the roof of the net. Sanming were shell-shocked.

The home side pulled one back just before half-time through a penalty won and converted by captain Zhao Lei, but any hope of a comeback was short-lived. Fuzhou restored their three-goal advantage early in the second half when substitute Wu Peng headed home from a free-kick in the 53rd minute.
