Shanghai Greenland Shenhua edged past Kawasaki Frontale with a narrow 1-0 victory, showcasing a strong defensive performance. The only goal came early in the second half at 01:15:29, which proved decisive. Despite Kawasaki's efforts, they could not break through Shanghai's compact defense, which remained organized throughout the match.

Shanghai's ability to convert one of its limited opportunities into a goal was the key factor in their victory. They managed only three corner kicks compared to Kawasaki's six, indicating less attacking presence, yet their efficiency in front of the goal was superior. Kawasaki, despite their higher offensive actions and set-piece opportunities, failed to capitalize on these chances.

Disciplinary factors also played a role, with Kawasaki receiving two yellow cards, including a crucial one late in the second half at 01:32:16, which further stifled their efforts to equalize. Shanghai, on the other hand, effectively managed their one yellow card received early in the match without escalating it into defensive vulnerability. Their discipline and strong teamwork were instrumental in maintaining the lead and securing the victory.
