As the first half drew to a close, a teasing free-kick from Gao Tianyi saw Jiang Shenglong adeptly redirect the ball, doubling the lead. In the second half, amid a burst of attacking chaos, Andre Luis seized the opportunity during stoppage time to add a third goal, sealing Shenhua’s emphatic victory.
