Match Report

The game was dominated by a physical midfield battle from the opening whistle. Xinyu created the first good chance after 15 minutes, forcing a sharp save from the Fuzhou goalkeeper. As the half wore on, Fuzhou began to exert control, holding more possession but failing to test the keeper. The breakthrough came in the 63rd minute when Fuzhou’s wide player cut inside and bent a curling effort into the far corner. Xinyu pushed forward in the closing stages but could not breach Fuzhou’s back line.
