Match Report

The midfield battle saw Maoming’s Liu Yang intercepting passes and launching quick transitions. Zhongshan’s best chance came in the 67th minute when a header from a corner went just wide, but otherwise they were restricted to long-range efforts that rarely troubled the goalkeeper.

Maoming could have added a third but were let down by poor finishing in the final third. The home side also hit the post twice in the second half, but the 2-0 scoreline was more than enough to secure the win.
