Rizhao Team 4-1 Dongying Team | Shandong Qilu Football Super League | July 4, 2026

Rizhao Team produced a scintillating attacking display to overwhelm Dongying Team 4-1 at the Rizhao Olympic Stadium on Saturday, extending their unbeaten home record to seven matches. The victory propelled Rizhao into the top half of the Shandong Qilu Football Super League table, while Dongying suffered a fourth defeat in five outings.

Fast start from Rizhao

The hosts were electric from the first whistle. Inside three minutes, Rizhao took the lead when striker **Gao Feng** volleyed in a corner from close range. The goal set the tone for a first half in which Rizhao created chances at will.

A second goal arrived in the 22^nd minute. Winger **Zhao Wei** dribbled past two defenders on the left and curled a shot into the far corner, leaving the Dongying goalkeeper with no chance. Dongying briefly rallied and pulled a goal back in the 35^th minute through forward **Han Lei**, who headed in a cross from **Liu Jun**. But Rizhao restored their two‑goal advantage just before half‑time when midfielder **Chen Cheng** fired home from 20 yards after a poor clearance.

Second‑half dominance seals the win

Rizhao continued to press after the break and added a fourth in the 63^rd minute. Substitute **Wang Lei** latched onto a through ball from Gao Feng, rounded the goalkeeper, and slotted into an empty net. It was a sweeping move that highlighted Rizhao’s confidence and movement off the ball.

Dongying offered little in response. Their midfield was overrun, and their best chance in the second half came from a long‑range free kick that sailed just over the bar. Rizhao goalkeeper **Xu Ming** was largely untroubled, making just two routine saves.

Key performers

• Gao Feng (Rizhao) – One goal and one assist; his hold‑up play was excellent, and he caused constant problems for Dongying’s centre‑backs.
• Zhao Wei (Rizhao) – The winger scored a stunning solo goal and completed five dribbles. He was a nightmare for the Dongying defence.
• Han Lei (Dongying) – Scored his side’s only goal and worked hard, but lacked support from teammates.

Impact on the standings

Rizhao Team rise to 8^th in the Shandong Qilu Football Super League with 22 points, now just four points off the playoff places. Dongying drop to 15^th with 12 points, only two points above the relegation zone. Rizhao will aim to continue their fine home form when they host Zibo Team next Saturday, while Dongying face a critical relegation six‑pointer against Weihai Team.
