Foshan Xijia — July 19, 2026 — Yipingao International delivered a commanding performance at home on Sunday evening, overpowering Midea FC with a 3-1 win in the Foshan Xijia league. The victory keeps Yipingao firmly in the title race as the season enters its decisive phase.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Yipingao International seized control of the midfield and pressed high up the pitch. Their relentless attack paid off inside the first 15 minutes when a well-worked team move ended with a clinical finish from their star striker. Midea FC struggled to contain the home side’s quick passing and movement, and by halftime Yipingao had built a 2-0 lead.

Midea showed greater urgency after the break and managed to pull one back early in the second half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse. However, the comeback was short-lived. Yipingao responded almost immediately, restoring their two-goal cushion with a powerful header from a corner kick.

• 61' — Yipingao restore order with a bullet header from a set piece.

Tactical Story

The home side’s midfield trio dominated possession, while the fullbacks provided overlapping runs that created overloads. Midea attempted to hit on the counter but lacked the final pass to trouble the goalkeeper consistently. Despite their brief resurgence, they could not cope with Yipingao’s physicality in set pieces.

Standout Players

• Yipingao No. 9 — A constant threat, scored once and assisted another.
• Yipingao left-back — Solid defensively and contributed to the attacking build-up.
• Midea goalkeeper — Made several sharp saves to keep the score respectable.

Season Impact
