Datang Town FC 5–2 Guangzhou Yuyan

Match date: 13 July 2026, 18:30 local time

If the evening’s first match was a tactical grind, the second was pure attacking theatre. Datang Town FC dismantled Guangzhou Yuyan with a devastating 5–2 victory at home, producing a display of relentless forward play that will send a warning signal to the rest of the Foshan Xijia.

Datang raced into a 3–0 lead inside 25 minutes. Striker Chen Haifeng scored twice—first a close-range tap‑in after a defensive mix‑up, then a curling effort from the edge of the area. Midfielder Wang Ziyu added a third with a deflected free kick. Guangzhou pulled one back before half‑time, but Datang responded with two more goals in the second period, including a penalty converted by Chen Haifeng to complete his hat‑trick. Guangzhou’s second goal, a fine volley from substitute Liu Bo, was merely a consolation.

Match statistics that tell the story:

• Goals: Datang 5 – 2 Guangzhou Yuyan
• Possession: Datang 53% – 47% Guangzhou
• Shots on target: Datang 9 – 4 Guangzhou
• Hat‑trick: Chen Haifeng (Datang) – first of the season for the club

Datang Town FC’s victory lifts them into the top three, putting pressure on the league leaders. For Guangzhou Yuyan, the heavy defeat exposes defensive frailties that have plagued them away from home this campaign. Manager Li Ming will need to reorganise quickly as the relegation zone looms uncomfortably close.

The five-goal haul also boosts Datang’s goal difference significantly—a factor that could prove crucial in a tightly contested Foshan Xijia table come the end of the season.
