In one of the most electrifying encounters of the season, Wuhan Three Towns staged a dramatic comeback to secure a 4-4 draw against Beijing Guoan on Tuesday. The match had it all – early goals, a commanding lead, and a last-minute rally that left fans breathless! ⚽🔥
Beijing Guoan got off to a flying start when Fabio Abreu found the net in the 3rd minute with a smart spin and finish off a slight deflection. Abreu then turned provider as he set up Zhang Yuning to make it 2-0 in the 23rd minute. But Wuhan Three Towns were not ready to surrender; Manuel Palacious ignited the comeback in the 31st minute with a brilliant long-range shot.
Despite Beijing Guoan regaining momentum—Serginho headed in a corner three minutes later to restore a two-goal cushion, and Yang Liyu added another to extend the lead to 4-1 in the second half—Wuhan’s resilience shined in the dying minutes. With just a few moments left, Zhong Jinbao broke the deadlock. Then, a handball by Wang Gang earned Gustavo Sauer a penalty, which he coolly converted. The drama reached its peak in stoppage time when Zhang Zhenyang headed in a corner kick to level the score at 4-4.
While the draw leaves Beijing Guoan in fifth place and positions Wuhan Three Towns at 13th early in the season, it’s a stunning reminder that nothing is over until the final whistle. An inspiring tale of persistence and passion for football fans everywhere!
